Lot of UK fans crying on Rupp's Rafters about Rick not pulling the starters.

Like...bro. First of all, cry about it.

Second, we have like 8 scholarship players lol. What do you want us to do?

Kentucky also didn’t stop pressing or pull their starters either. For a fanbase that claims to have basketball knowledge, they sure are stupid.

Not to look ahead, but since we don’t have a game today, do we care matchup-wise who wins Duke/Alabama? Maybe I sound crazy, but I would almost think we want Duke. I’m just not sure there is any team in the country who when they catch fire is harder to stop than Alabama. If they just have one of those nights from 3, we won’t win.

Duke may be the better team, but I’m not sure they’ve faced a defense as physical as us all year.

Bama. Duke has length on length on length. Not to mention they have a generational talent in Flagg

More likely to beat Bama but holy hell, playing them in the Final Four would be INSANE. Revenge factor might work against us there. Plus, I just don't want Bama to get another Final Four, period.

I think so, too. But man no team in this tournament has the potential to get hot from 3 more than Alabama does. Not even Duke. And if they are going to hit 50% from 3 and 15+ triples it makes the idea of playing against them a nightmare.

If today is not the day for us to break through, we may never make one. It has to be today.

it’s wild that arguably our 2 best teams have hard the hardest path possible, but other years we’ve had brackets open wide up and we’ve stumbled on a lesser opponent.

Seems like some programs catch lightning in a bottle, get on a roll and make a final 4 like South Carolina, NC St, and FAU of late. We appear to be building momentum, knocking on the final four door repeatedly. Time to kick the door down and go inside!
