Think I saw today's the first time in ACC history there are two different games with both teams in the top 10 on the same day. Kind of hard to believe it's never happened before.

Yeah I agree. Makes sense now though with how big the conferences are now.

How the hell does UK/UF get Gameday?

ETA: I love the fact that we get west coast games that tip off at 11-11:30 every weekend. It's like back in the mid 2000s when ESPN2 would air a Hawaii football game that kicked off at 11:59pm on Saturday night.

Guessing they wanted to have Kentucky on at least once this year. Not many good options in SEC play

The other two obvious choices were either at UVA or at Duke, and both were featured last week.

Gameday is so much calmer than it was last week

Since they were at UVA last week, I would have gone with ND/Duke. That'll be a much rowdier crowd than UK/UF. Just remembered Duke game is on CBS though.

By virtue of Kentucky and the schedule. Probably wanted to do it at one of the teams they've been saying has potential to beat UK.

Interesting stat on ESPN: Florida is 2-10 all-time against #1 teams. All ten of those losses have come against Kentucky.

Tennessee at Georgia is on espn2 at noon. That's a pretty good game as far as the sec is concerned

Tennessee is in must win mode and uga gets Marcus Thornton back after missing 2 games that uga lost.

Okie state over Kansas in Stillwater isn't a bad pick but I dont think it happens today. Kansas is playing great lately. Phil forte will have to score 30, which he could.

Pretty solid day of hoops

And probably will. When do OSU's little white guys not go off on KU?

A buddy text me that earlier. Hopefully it's still the case after today. That said, I wouldn't be real sad if they dropped one between now and the NCAA Tournament either.

On the bright side (for UK), defense in today's CBB trumps all, IMO. As long as they can create points off of turnovers in the tournament and stay focused, they should be fine without a loss.

The offense has looked a little better the past couple games but it's hard to judge whether it's getting better or it's just the competition.
