Can you list even 3 Kentucky players you hate/hated?
Can you list 75 Duke players you hate/hated?
This is a good point. But the UK fan base has to make up for the difference. Right now, I’m leaning UK as more hated.
Last night’s victory is actually sweetening with age.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Gotcha. Well, if the last name is Laettner - go ahead and kick him out of school.
-
@nuleafjhawk you got it!

Where do you run into Kentucky fans? I’ve maybe seen one die hard in the wild. Rare species in sw Kansas. The brotherhood is more present.
-
Mike Phillips and Rick Robey. Just hated 'em. Can’t remember why after nearly 47 years; maybe it seemed like they mugged everybody. But since they played for UK, I’m comfortable keeping it going.
-
I always hated the coach of Duke more than the players except for the two being mentioned, except never hated Laettner, so it comes down to tripper boy. Someone help me remember why Laettner is hated?
-
@wissox for me, many reasons, but most of all: while at Duke, he intentionally stomped on a fallen defender’s chest under the basket

Virtually. And drawing on a lifetime of encounters. Not just 21st century.

I know this is not exactly sociologically approved, but my 2012 NC game experience taught me all I needed to know about Kentucky fans. The French Quarter and Superdome is a great venue for this game because everything is walkable. So all day Monday my wife and I were wandering around with fans of both kinds. Easily identified by the shirts/hats being worn. A kentucky fan walks by with a t shirt that says “this bitch bleeds kentucky blue”. I couldn’t believe someone would walk around wearing a shirt calling themselves a bitch. I saw similar crude shirts affiliated with Kentucky that day. I know I may have missed one or two that may have been off color Jayhawk shirts, but I didn’t see any.
Game time. We’re half way up the upper deck in a very neutral fan section. Right in front of us are a group of 8-10 Kentucky fans. They’re all young enough to be my kids, but looking like recent college grads. They’re standing. Ball is tipped, Kentucky scores, I’m thinking OK, they’ll sit down now. No one else is standing. I ask them if they could please sit down and one of them points to the big screen on the scoreboard and says “you can just watch it up there.” I still can’t believe he said it and I still can’t believe I didn’t ‘accidentally’ bump into him sending him tumbling down the steep upper deck.
Classy, I met several, arrogant, rude, redneck, etc, I saw a lot.
-
@wissox There was a screen print store on Mass street briefly that had some off color Jayhawk t-shirts until they got shut down by the university. “I bleed crimson and blue, therefore I crap purple” is the only one I remember though.

Joe College and I still have several shirts from them including the always classy “Muck Fizzou” shirt. Also have some others in regards to Missouri, KSU, amd Texas.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I loved Joe College, still have my Hawk football “our coach can eat your coach” shirt somewhere.
-
@dylans Yeah, I can understand that one at least as fans gonna fan, but a woman referring to herself as a bitch is just beyond anything that I can imagine anyone wanting to wear!
-
@wissox Not very couth.
-
#14 Arkansas goes down to UNCG, 78-72.
-
Kim Mulkey suspended the arrogant Angel Reese for some unknown reasons from LSU womens basketball.
-
UConn coach also thinks his coaching box includes 4 ft of the court when the ball is in play. Every made basket by the opponent, he’s 4 ft on the court talking to his guard as he brings the ball up. Mgbako started for Indiana but no help offensively or defensively in the first half.
-
@stoptheflop Uconn looks like they might go back to back which would suck.
Can’t stand Hurley.

I don’t think you realize how bad Indiana is. I watched their first 3 games. One of the worst P5 teams that is supposed to be decent that I have ever seen. They don’t play defense at all. Mgbako doesn’t even try on defense.
-
If we don’t blow out Indiana I will be very down on this KU team.
-
Mgbako had 2 points in the Indiana loss. Played 23 minutes.
K-State down 19 to Miami at the half, 47-28
-
Refs really keeping Lewisville in the game. 31 FT attempts L; Tx 17
-
Did we recruit Sky Clark? - -20 points for Louisville today
-
@BShark December road game and Ware hasn’t been bad. They make some shots and we are off can be the easy unexpected L before break.
I think we win but seeing a loss isn’t impossible heck already been some crazy upsets early this year.
I agree they look bbbaadddd but any given night you never know
-
So Missouri lost to previously winless, kenpom #309 Jackson State tonight.

So, KSU lost to Miami by 8, but not sure how much to read into it. KSU was 4-28 from 3; Miami was 12-24. Don’t think either of those will happen often, esp. the combination.

Ya all remember Jaedon LaDee ? - -was at TCU - -transferred to San Diego St. – Off to a great start this Season, went off for 34/17 against Washington in the championship game - -he also had game of 27/11 - -& 25/8 so far got these all in this tourney. - -Averaging 26.8 ppg right now & 10.6 rpg. - -Strong numbers , were we recruiting him at one time ?
-
@wissox Was it Meredith Brooks?
-
@nuleafjhawk I had to google the name, but yes, I think it was.
-
Gonzaga up on Purdue at half, 35-30. Lead had been bigger. Edey @ 15 with half Purdue’s points. 7-8 at the line though. Gonzaga playing physical with him.
-
@Gorilla72 Been watching another game but Purdue has gone on a run it looks like.
-
UConn hot
-
@Crimsonorblue22 uconn is the best team I’ve seen by far. They are nasty and play free without thinking.
Whatever Hurley is doing is working.
-
Badgers play their first great game of the year after a real dud against Providence and a never had a chance close loss against Rocky Top. They destroyed Virginia 65-41 which was ranked 24th but prolly won’t be after that debacle.
-
Texas missin one of their main players , seen him last night pretty dam good player
-
Ya Sheddrick is who I was thinking of - -dropped 27 points last night pretty solid, they missing him for sure
-
UCLA’s offense is painful
-
Marquette isn’t that good either. They’re not skilled but boy do they play hard
-
Looks like Shaka Smart has another crack at Kansas…
-

No one is good! In all of college basketball! Wide open year imo.

Is this NIL creating parity?

That plus some missed development time with younger guys due to covid.
-
Duke losing to 1-5 Southern Indiana at home at the half.
-
Baylor looks pretty dam solid-- - - -deep bench
-
Thru Feast Week, B12 has not been quite as dominant as some prior years, but still has a good collection of P5 and other quality wins, including a few against ranked teams: Kentucky, Tennessee, USC, Auburn, San Diego State, Utah, NC State, Florida, Iowa, and Michigan. Only OSU and WVU have bad losses.
-
Not worth another thread, but just read that Tony Gwynn played college hoops at SDState and had 590 assists in his career. He had 434 strikeouts in his 20 year MLB career. It must drive him nuts to watch guys strike out as much as they do these days.
