Kentucky

They are marching hard into this tournament. . . but the clock is ticking, K.U. fans - Calipari will eventually lead you in shame and scandal. Dance with the devil. . .

Once a powerhouse, is now in a swoon. They now have Calipari from Memphis, but Cal better be up to task, or he's run outta town, just like Pitino.

hey indiana fan who said kentucky sucks? who demolished the hoosiers this year? another thing, whose lipscomb? yeah dont trash the big blue nation because we got 7 titles and are the winningest and have the most wins total in college basketball history? anything else you would like to say? go big blue1

The changing of the guard should help UK. I feel that the fans and players had become stale with Tubby at the helm. They have some good young talent coming in this year and Gillespie should make a difference.

a great program...although ethics often takes a backseat to winning with the Wildcats

A great team with a history of being just that. The state of Kentucky loves their Wildcats and they should because the team has proven their value over the years. Consistently Great!

I love all the dUKe and Carolina fans that come in here at joke about UK. Ill try to make this short and sweet. North Carolina = 4 Championships dUKe = 3 Championships ---------------------- KENTUCKY = 7 CHAMPIONSHIPS That means dUKe + Carolina = KENTUCKY Kentucky will ALWAYS be big brother..so just get over it you dUKe/Carolina fans!

surely the best basketball college in the nation, even though they arent playing to their full potential, i still have faith in their ability to succeed.(they're just too young, we'll get em' next year)

Huge fan of the cats, but, they're just too young this year. In all of the essence, they really need to work on their shooting.

Here's a stat for the ignorant UK fans on this site.UNC is the only team in CBB history to win NCAA titles in 3 consecutive decades.Even if UK wins a title from 2006to2009 they still don't have a NCAA title for the 1980's.UNC has 82,93,&2005.Consistency makes UNC the greatest.Get over it!

Are you kidding me? The Cats suck this year. Go IU! Would you like some Vik to ease the pain of the raping you suffered in Indy?

Even as a Tarheel fan, I have to admit, I've always kinda liked UK..............when they aren't playing us of course. The two programs are similar in so many ways. When I see UK kids, they kinda look as if they could be Carolina kids and vice versa. Know what I mean? They just seem like good country or inner city kids. No trust fund babies. Just natural ballers. But man, they dodged a bullet with that Randolph Morris thing. What happened with Azubuike? Isnt he with the Blazers or somebody? But yeah, I feel like UK is Carolina's cousin in some weird way. Like together we represent the real traditions, the old school. I feel like Tubby Smith and Roy and Dean would be great friends. Ya'll know what I mean? I just feel like UK and Carolina are somehow different than Arizona, UCONN, Mich ST, Dook, etc. Anyway, since we will probably be out early in the '05-'06 tourney (although you never know with Carolina), TAKE IT ALL UK BOYS!

Scandal has been as much a part of the University of Kentuckys basketball history as triumph. Here are the lowlights: 1952 The aftermath of a severe point-shaving scandal made UK, in effect, the first school to get the death penalty. In November, the NCAA asked its member schools not to play Kentucky in mens basketball during the 1952-53 season. The NCAA cited at least four instances over a four-year period of UK supporters giving Kentucky players money. As a result, UK canceled its basketball season. The examples of illegal subsidization of players came to the attention of the NCAA after they arose in court documents relating to the massive point-shaving scandal of the late 1940s. That national scandal ensnared at least 31 players from around the United States. Adolph Rupp, who had publicly vowed that gamblers couldnt get to our players with a 10-foot pole, was embarrassed when ex-UK stars Ralph Beard and Alex Groza admitted accepting cash. Kentuckys 7-1 center, Bill Spivey, was al... Read more

5...Enough Said!!!!

UK is the best college basketball program ever. Which means UNC, UCLA, Indiana and Duke can kiss our Big Blue Butts.

Pretty good but KU's better

The Wildcats will do some serious damage in March while their rival Indiana will be mowing their lawns.

Kentucky Basketball sets the standard for all others to look up to, and stive to achieve. The Wildcats have played in a final four every decade from the 40's to the 90's, winning championships in 4 different decades, and will surely make it again before this decade is out. They have the most all time wins, and no team has dominated in a conference like UK has in the SEC. UK is GREAT and stands alone at the top of the College Basketball World.

They had it before you, they'll have it during you, and they'll have it after you're all gone and forgotten.

I'm an IU student, so this may seem a bit sacreligious, but here i go. As my friend constantly points out, UK is the winningest college basketball team in the land and will break UCLA's 11-championship record soon enough. When Pitino left, Tubby picked up right where Rick left off and took UK right to the title. They haven't finished the job in the past couple of years, but I see 'em doing it this year....unless, of course, IU is in there!

I laughed my ass off when Arizona beat them for the title in '97

UK KICKS A**, MORE HISTORICAL TRADITION IN THE NCAA RANKS THAN ANY OTHER. MOST IF NOT ALL SCHOOLS HAVE A GOOD RUN AND TAPER OFF AFTER A FEW YEARS, OR EVEN A DECADE, BUT UK HAS BEEN GOING STRONG SINCE 1903. THEY WON THIER FIRST CHAMPIONSHIP IN '48, SECOND IN '49 AND FINISHED FIRST IN THE FIRST EVER ASSOCIATED PRESS BASKETBALL POLL. CURRENTLY THEY HAVE STRUGGLED UNDER HEAD COACH TUBBY SMITH, BUT HISTORY ALWAYS REPEATS ITSELF.GO BIG BLUE!!!!!!

simply the best college basketball program of all time. The statistics back it up, and they have the best fan support in colege basketball. Also look at their scheduel every year, they do not dodge anyone, yet they are always in the top 10, or in the running for the championship. Unlike Someone like Duke, who plays 1 or 2 tough games before the ACC, and will not play anyone out of conference on their home court. Its either at Cameron indoor or a nutural site.

Overall Kentucky has the most wins in college basketball, the best winning percentage in college basketball, the most consensus All-Americans, the most AP top 10 finishes, the most wins in the NCAA championship, 41 SEC titles (more than the rest of the SEC COMBINED!), 23 SEC Tournament Championships, 15 National Attendance crowns, and seven NCAA Championships (second only to UCLA). They are the best!

JEALOUS OF DUKE AND CAROLINA!

I hate UK, many of their fans have no class whatsoever or are just plain evil.

Ok, so I should have given them a 5 but I just can't get myself to do it.

They are the best team there has ever been. Tuby is great, but it doesnt matter who the coach is, the cats will always win.

Kentucky what? Go Blazers

No matter who the coach is or the cailber of the player.UK just keeps on winning

The Standard against which all others are measured.

Dont like them!

UK will always be number one with me. Of course, it helps that they are the winningest team in history and they are the best team this year! Here's to dancing all the way in 2003...

Above average talent. Great inside game, but poor from the perimeter. Defense wins for the Cats. Don't look for long ride in the tournament. Too easy to exploit.

Corrupt Arena. Rape Arena. Tubby best thing that has happened for UK! Leave Rupp and play some real teams on the road, then we'll see.
