Do they plan on picking up the second half today? Must have been moisture on the court or something that caused them to call the game there.

 

[Fjordson]

Kentucky's going to bounce back in a major way after the ND loss in about two hours. Right guys...?

At least we're lower on the "panic meter" than UCLA - http://espn.go.com/mens-college-bas...entucky-ucla-baylor-others-college-basketball

No UNC on that list? Surprising.

 

[Fjordson]

Not a great half...lol @ our number 8 ranking at this point.

 

[lush]

Holy hell, Wiltjer needs to stop shooting. Go inside UK, damn.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Rupp is an easy gym to win in confirmed.

 

[Fjordson]

Calipari's first home loss. Wow.

Can't believe how bad we were at finishing on offense. So many inside shots missed. And so many dumb turnovers. Ugly game overall.

Kentucky has a lot to work on that's for sure. Though at least Harrow showed a tiny spark towards the end.

 

[Pollux]

Well this is going to be a long season.

 

[Enfinit]

Well, I'm 0-2 when attending FSU games. Looks like I'm not going to any more this season.

 

[Seth C]

If I were Cal this would be "run till you puke" time.

I wouldn't hold your breath.

No amazing teams in the entire country this year, let alone UK. Though I'm not willing to say that we won't improve at all.

 

[Cubsfan23]

Uk gonna miss the tourney?

 

[lush]

Uk gonna miss the tourney?

Playing in the SEC? Please....

 

[bachikarn]

Playing in the SEC? Please....

Eh, I think 2 years ago Alabama almost won the regular season SEC championship and got left out of the tournament. So dominating the SEC isn't going to buy you much.

 

[Elfforkusu]

But Virginia just announced their loyalty like 4 minutes ago. Realignment, make it stop.

UConn, Cincy, come on down.

Oh, I like how the ACC presidents unanimously decided to file suit against Maryland for the payment of the exit fee, knowing that probably half of them were hoping to lose.

All this realignment is going to look so stupid in 20 years when cable TV is dead and concussions have radically changed college FB...

But in the mean time: Eff it, let's just annex half the ACC and call it a day. UVA, UNC, GA Tech, Duke, you're in!

And we shall call it the "B1G East".

If we were on the bubble they'd let us in on name alone I'm guessing. Gillispie had to do some pretty crazy shit to keep us out of the tournament.

Besides, we're a football school now.

 

[jakncoke]

We're down 7 to Detroit @home mid 1st. ugh i hate this team

 

[jakncoke]

WHAT THE FUCK HOW IS THAT NOT A FOUL!

edit; this game is rediculous

DOWN 8 TO FUCKING DETROIT. THIS SEASON IS OVER

Rick Majerus passed away. RIP.

Crazy. I don't recall his exact age but wasn't he relatively young?

64. Had heart issues.

 

[PotatoeMasher]

Rick Majerus passed away. RIP.

Man, that sucks. One of the best coaches in the game and always good for entertainment as well.

 

[Cousteau]

Always seemed out of breath and sweating when just talking.

 

[Piecake]

I can see UVA and UNC apart of the Big 10, but I cant picture GT.

Rick Majerus passed away. RIP.

We're going to win, but my god do we suck

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Saddened by the Majerus news. He was a character. RIP.

Thought about making a small joke about that, remembered this was GAF so...

RIP Majerus

 

[Fjordson]

Just saw the Majerus news on ESPN. RIP =[

And on the same day as that Kansas City Chiefs player died. Sad day for sports.

That's one way too put it..

 

[chuckddd]

RIP Coach Majerus. One of the good ones, too bad he couldn't get his weight under control.

 

[ErasureAcer]

Gophers #12 on CBS' top 25+1. =)

 

[alstein]

GT academics are much better, and their football tradition is much better. It's a better pick really than UNC/UVA. I think they can also fill their stadium with something other than trees.

 

[Outdoor Miner]

New polls are out.

No UNC, Kentucy, or Mich. St in Top 25. When the hell is the last time that happened? I'm willing to bet DECADES.

Edit- Woops. Was looking at just one writers poll. Oh well, woulda been interesting.

So if we win against Western Carolina on Tues and then against Gonzaga on Saturday the Illini would be looking at entering the Top 10. Insanity! Competely, undoubtedly undeserved but I won't complain.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Ga Tech is not a better school than UVA or UNC lol

 

[jakncoke]

Coaches are sucking Kentucky dick so good. 4-3 and still #19!

 

[Amory]

Lol, associated press delivering a bitch slap to UK

If they win at Gonzaga, they definely derserve to be top ten.

 

[PotatoeMasher]

Well, we're still 12th in kenpom and will win our next four easily. I don't really care where we're ranked, just that we get some momentum going into the UofL game. If we win that one against the odds, everything turns rosy again.

 

[bachikarn]

Ga Tech is not a better school than UVA or UNC lol

It definitely is for engineering. I don't even think nationally that many know UVA is a top academic school.

 

[Bowser]

Don't mind alstein, as a wuffie I think he's conditioned to hate all things UNC.

lol wut? They're ranked as the #2 public university in the nation!

Public schools:

#2 UVa
#5 UNC
#7 GT

http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandr...ges/rankings/national-universities/top-public

Among all national universities:

#24 UVa
#30 UNC

Fortunately, grad schools, Law firms, and Fortune 500 companies do.

14!!!!! Yeah.

 

[Pollux]

Today I am one sad wildcat. Not to say that it isn't deserved, but out of the Top 25 completely? Gawd daaaaamn.

 

[bachikarn]

lol wut? They're ranked as the #2 public university in the nation!

I meant, if you ask a random person in say Arizona how good UVA is, I doubt they would know. I didn't realize how good it was till my senior year of HS when I started applying to schools. I'm sure everyone around Virginia knows how good it is, but I doubt the general US population does. I doubt it has same kind of brand recognition as like Berkley.

PS: lol usnews

It just so happens that the I-95 corridor is the most densely populated region in the United States. :3
