#1 versus #3 should be a really good game to watch. If your Tarheels don't blow us out it may be a small victory for the cats. My expectations are pretty low right now, but the only bright spot may be that we've put Clarke at the point.

Our woeful offense will have to depend upon the defense, so maybe that will keep us in the game.

Lol, you just wait.......yall will cruise to victory man!
And, I meant to reply to your other post.
UK has a better fan base than Carolina.
A few years ago, we played each other in Vegas. And, Kentucky has 3 times the people we had there!
And, I think that also highlights the difference between the SEC and ACC
There's NOTHING like SEC fans to be quite honest, Larry.

Garza and Suggs are quite fun to watch! Iowa has clawed back, Zags had a 20pt lead when I went to the garage.

Larry, both our programs have a long way to go after seeing Gonzaga and Iowa play today.
Especially Gonzaga.
They look like a National Championship Team imo.

Zags look like the real deal. Kentucky is hovering over rock bottom right now but they did look like they had fight in them, NC out smarted them and looked more polished.

We got more holes than sewer grate and stink just as bad🤦‍♂️

Both teams are a hot mess Paul and for the 1st time, I'm hearing fire Cal from fans! I truly believe its these kids that just not committed to play for the name on the shirt!

Coach Cal put a player on leave a few days ago, who blew up and had a tantrum about playing time🤦‍♂️ hearing there is a few bad eggs that are causing the chemistry problems.

Not sure if you're like me in thinking that these players are athletic but clueless about how to play the game? I'm seeing guys that are losing interest or focus from one play to another...I blame fortnight😁

We haven't started a season 1-5 since 1926! We play Saturday at Louisville and will fall to 1-6 I'm afraid, but maybe the little shake-up will start to turn things around.

Are heels fans blaming Roy Williams for this rough start?

Wow. Can't believe they're calling for Cals job!
I think both players and fan base might be a little spoiled.
I can sympathize with ya there.
Although not many rumblings at all about Roy. Yet.
But, I agree with you a 100% in that they need to learn the game! Its kinda strange. Yall have better players- recruits but want the limelight without the hard work and we have guys that want to learn but just aren't that good to be honest, lol.
I dunno man. Its just crazy!

Now that's a good question.
Maybe a better question is:
When was the last time UNC, UK, Duke & Louisville were all not in the Top 10*

Crazy indeed! At least we actually got a win today, it was ugly but it counts.

2 and 6 overall, but maybe we can say we're undefeated for 2021 thus far.😄

Larry, Ill be much suprised if my Heels make the Big Dance this season. And, if they do, I know there's no chance winning it all. That being said, I really like this Iowa Hawkeye team. Think I'll pull for them too this season.
Still looks to me however that this will probably be the Zags year to win it all..

Paul, I've gone into full disillusionment about basketball. Any dismal game here in the bluegrass yesterday, with more focus on hairdos and zero heart. An equally awful Auburn team couldn't get close to an outside shot still beats us.

After our local Sheriff started burning UK shirts in response to the team and coaching staff neeling during the pledge of allegence, most around here have just refused to watch.

Some of the worst basketball I've ever watched. Its really, not fair to the really good teams out there.

I'm really sorry to hear that Larry.
Although its their right to Neal during the National Anthem - you said pledge of allegiance at any rate, I wish they would choose not to exercise that right.

Lol, yeah I meant Anthem. :o Its definitely a bizarre time to be alive. I truly wonder if UK was 15-0 at this point, if the vitriol coming from some would be voiced?

Anywho, I've only seen a couple of games the past few weeks, but I do hope to actually have a tournament this year, even though my team will be otherwise occupied.🥴
