I think it's embarrassing that people have been talking about this game for weeks now. They act like this is supposed to be a matchup of super powers. We can't even beat Auburn, or Missouri.

That doesn't mean that we can't pull the upset, but I wish we'd worry a little more about beating the suck arse teams at the bottom of our conference so that we can get a NCAA berth instead of focusing on one fluke night.

It's how most teams work. We as football and baseball fans are not use to this, because we are at the top we are the teams that people give their best shot. Basketball is different, if we are to compare this to Football, I would say Kentucky was like USC in the early 2000s when they dominated the Pac 10. Teams would have huge motivation to beat USC. Now the coaches will say let's focus on the next weeks opponent but in that players mind, USC is always at the back.

To put it simply teams who usually aren't at the top, when a #1 team comes in we get all worked up. It's human nature to do this. It's like class work, the daily quizzes or assignments probably have a bigger impact on your grade than a test, but you get all worked up about the test because it is such a huge deal. The same goes with sports, when you play the best team in the country you're going to get excited and worked up for it. Beating Kentucky would make our season.

Note: I agree with you but you're not going to change the way people treat this game.

Oh, I agree with that. If we didn't keep stubbing our toes against SEC bottom feeders, we would have absolutely no pressure to win tonight. It's a big reason why this team can be so hard to watch.

Possibly. Going to try and buy a pair outside the PMAC, if that fails just watch it somewhere with cheap drinks.

Is anyone here besides me going to the game tonight?

Am I a bad fan if I have been to more gymnastics meets this year than basketball games?

Not if you are a gymnastics fan.

i mean, i WANT them to win.... I want them to win weather it's football,baseball or badminton. But, i don't think they will... and 20 threads about this one game.. some people are setting themselves up to be let down.

ETA: it may be more like 30 threads.

I'm going to the scrimmage.

Glad someone is. I know basketball has a big game tonight, but I'm still excited for baseball.

the poll from moscona's tweet is at 50-50 ..

Was already discussed, but you would fap to that regional? That would be a ridiculously difficult draw. Undoubtedly one of the toughest of the entire field.
