UK went to the NIT last year......

Patiently waiting for PT to return telling you how great UK will be, that they have the greatest coach, and that you have no right to even breathe such nonsense about UK hoops.

does anyone know how good auburn is supposed to be this year? they were on the cover of some magazine i saw but i didnt have time to read it. btw.. kansas wins it all this year no question.

Where the *(#& have you been all offseason HogFan? We're starting 3 NBA first round draft picks for next year's draft.

At this point, I'm done arguing or explaining why Kentucky is going to be so damn good this year. Look, we're Kentucky, we're back, get over it. No amount of griping on a message board is going to change the fact that we're going to steamroll [insert your team here] into the ground this season.

You know what....I'm still pissed about this. Asking why Kentucky is so hyped up this season in basketball is as effing stupid as asking why Florida or Alabama were supposed to be so good in football this year. It just is. live with it.

strictly rumor, but there is alot of buzz that sidney will be playing with and announcement within 2 weeks. i dont see it happening, but some swear by it. i hope im wrong and the rumor mongers are right.

It didn't take the NCAA very long to resolve the John Wall issue....this Sidney thing should've been cleared up by now.

yeah but we are miss state, we arent one of the "money makers" so they come down harder on us...reik's suspension not including the exhibition whereas others do, etc...

Agree Cianne.

If you went to UK during the Coach Rupp and Hall periods and were affiliated with the program, you learned one lesson 1st and foremost...Humble in victory and gracious in defeat. It bothers me a great deal as someone from that era to see posters who say they are UK people to be talking trash and bragging. That is not UK.

You still think we'll be next to last in the East? That's ridiculous... we have more talent, experience, and coaching success than any other team in the East, besides UK. We'll be fighting for #2 at the very least.

I'm not worried about the guard position at all now that Tishman has been cleared... he's virtually the same thing as Calathes, and hopefully he'll play with more heart. And, we'll definitely be a force underneath the basket, after having to use a forward as a center last year.

It has nothing to do with being a "money maker". Reik's case was exponentially different from Wall's and the comparisons are tired at this point.

If you would like to compare apples to apples with a "money maker" look at the Randolph Morris situation. He declared for the draft and tried out for several teams then had to payback the $7,000 or so the teams spent and sit out 14 games. A suspension that was reduced from an entire season. How's that for special treatment?

And if State fans are going to continue to make snide comments about the Wall situation to make incorrect points about their own players at least try to get the facts right. Exhibition games didn't "count". He was specifically suspended for one exhibition game AND one regular season game. That's why he missed the first exhibition game but played in the second and will now miss the first regular season game. Got it? Good!

I still say 5th. It's not that I think Florida is gonna be bad....Tennessee, Vandy, and Carolina all look really good.

The whole East other than Georgia is comprised of teams w/a more than legit shot at going to the dance this year. It's gonna be a slugfest.
