Well folks, OPENING DAY for Kentucky Wildcats basketball is tomorrow for the 2012 season!! After 13 loooong years we finally broke our Final Four drought (the longest in UK history) and we just barely missed making the championship game. But with all the guys from last year's squad we're getting back, not to mention having the top ranked recuiting class in the country, and add to THAT us starting out SECOND in the pre-season AP Poll (with a chance on December 3 to take first place away from the Tar Heels; I definitely hope we're still #1 vs. #2 by then; that will make for a very exciting classic game!). And considering we're now over our Final Four drought, I don't think we should settle for anything less than going for the gold this year!!

<< <i>Piece of cake. I see no one on the schedule that will even give them a scare. North Carolina may stay with them for a half if they meet in the tournament but the Wildcats would easily pull away in the second half. >>
How do you figure? They're #1 and we're not.
Yet...
Still I am very tempted to think that maybe, just maybe we could see a squad similar to our magical 1996 team?

I have a feeling our next opponent will put up a much better fight (Kansas after all is ranked and is a big name brand school) but that's our best opponent before our UNC game so we'd better pull out a convincing win so we can make the Tar Heels really good and scared of us

Unfortunately, we did see a bit of not-so-unselfish play in this game (granted it's only our second game but still), so I hope every now and then Coach Cal will show our guys some footage of our magical 1996-98 teams and let them observe how the key to bringing home two golds and a silver in those years was pure teamwork and unselfishness (which considering what our 1996 squad was made of that is quite remarkable). And I'm sure our players are not idiots and know how starving Big Blue Nation is to bring home the gold. After all isn't the only name brand school besides us that's failed to win a title in the 21st century is UCLA and Indiana (though Indiana won the silver in 2002)?

[AP] Sources confirm that Kentucky has been stripped of its 2012 NCAA Men's Basketball Championship for numerous violations which occured under John Calipari's tenure. Calipari himself was not implicated, but the scandal has been widespread, involving numerous players and boosters. Etc, etc....

1. Horses;
2. Horse country with green and white splitrial fencing going on forever;
3. The Derby;
4. UK Hoops (the UK uniforms are usually great looking, particularly with the blue and white color; and the players who wear them usually look like thoroughbred horses or greyhounds);
5. Sold out games at Rupp Arena; and
6. UK Cheerleaders (usually blonde with blue eyes and a great southern drawl), who IMO are to college hoops what USC cheerleaders are to college football.
My only connection to UK hoops is that I played high school hoops in 1974 as a senior against a cross town rival that had a sophmore named LaVon Williams (he played at UK from 1976-77 season through the 1979-80 season and was a member of the 1978 National Champs playing with Jack Givens, Rick Robey and Mike Phillips. Givens scored 41 points in the Championship game against Duke, leading UK to a 94-88 win.

Oh yes!! When I was working the Commons Market (one of our two main cafeterias; we have several smaller ones scattered about the campus too) I got to see the Kentucky Girls come through our lines a lot! I must say a lot of them were tiny little chicks; at first I wasn't sure if they were even our students (like maybe they pick HS cheerleaders to cheer at UK games or something)! But yes I absolutely agree we got the best cheerleaders in college b-ball and it's always really cute watching them do their cheer whenever we make a basket.

Well as it stands now you're in 12th place in the country so you had better be "not that bad this year".

<< <i>Great game. What stuck out to me was that even though UNC was deadly from behind the arc, UK still pulled it out. If UNC would have just shot average behind the arc, it would have been a 10 to 12 point game. >>

I am very concerned about Terrance Jones. It's like he just "shut down" or something right during the game (Coach had to bench him for the remainder of the game) and that is extremely unusual for that to happen when the stakes are so high. I hope there's nothing seriously wrong with him...

Well what do you expect when you make obvious "cheater Cal" overtones? The man is innocent in both cases (UMass and Memphis) and the NCAA never even so much as accused him of anything, much less convicted him of any wrongdoing. DEAL WITH IT.

How does Mort Walker know that Calipari will be found guilty of numerous infractions one year before it happens?
Can you help solve this mystery?
CDsNuts, 1/9/15
Good day.
<< <i>I understand now. This thread is meant to be a cheering, one-sided, pro-Calipari, pro-Kentucky thread. Any opinions that might differ from those will result in name calling. I will keep that in mind, and I will keep my opinions to myself on this thread or any other propaganda that you spew forth in the future. I was civil in my comments, yet you stooped to name calling... twice. God forbid anyone say anything contrary to your opinion. The FACT is that Calipari has left a trail of probation wherever he has gone (pure coincidence, I am quite sure). The FACT is that Kentucky basketball has one of the worst histories of cheating in the history of college sports (1952-53 season cancelled due to fixing scandal, 1976 scholarship reductions, 1980's probation, etc.). The building that they play in is named after one of the most surly, nasty human beings to ever set foot on a basketball court. I won't get into Rupp's alleged racism, but most people that dealt with him found him to be a guy that makes Bob Knight seem like Mr. Friendly. So, you may continue to call me whatever you will, but you'll not change my opinion and you will not change the facts.
Good day. >>
FACT: My only objection was you calling Calipari a cheater when there is no evidence whatsoever he had anything to do with the UMass or Memphis scandals. If you were a prosecutor and tried to tell the judge/jury "Well, he happened to be there both times so he must be guilty!", they'd laugh you out of the courtroom.
FACT: You have no real evidence that Rupp was a racist. In fact, he coached and started Moses Mosley, the first black basketball player and second black graduate of Freeport HS (where Rupp coached in 1926-29 before coming to UK). Yes, you heard right. He coached an integrated basketball team in the 1920s. He wanted very much to integrate UK as well but the rest of the SEC was very much uncooperative in that end (with much of the rest of the league threatening to not take the court if he tried). Read here if you want to know the whole story.
I don't mind your opinion at all. If you want to bash Kentucky be my guest. But don't smear an innocent man when there is no evidence he did anything wrong. And don't smear Rupp when you don't have any real evidence that he was a racist.
Should we indeed hang that big blue 2012 NCAA Champions banner in Rupp, I'd advise you not to hold your breath waiting for it to get taken down.

Now it's on to tournament time, baby! At the top of this thread I went ahead and listed our likely SEC Tournament match-ups (LSU/Arkansas is a classic 8 vs 9 toss-up so I went ahead and listed both for now).
<< <i>Kentucky is head and shoulders better than anyone else in the country. Only a colossal screw up could prevent them from winning out right through the NCAA. >>
If there's a "colossal screw up", it had better damn well happen in the SEC Tournament. After all it happened in 1996, and look how that year turned out.
I still think Syracuse will give us a good fight in the championship game (surely they will put them and us on opposite sides of the bracket); they did in 1996 after all. Won't that be a fun rematch?
And one very encouraging thought is that we will probably be in the Southeast quadrant of the Big Dance, where we play our first two games at Loserville and the next two at "Catlanta". So you could say we will have pseudo-home court advantage this year!

Also, should UK indeed beat Vandy tomorrow and take home that pyramid (what the SEC Tournament trophy is shaped like) I hope they will hoist the trophy, wear the caps/shirts, and snip the first of (hopefully) three nets. I know sometimes a team in Kentucky's position will skip the conference tournament championship celebration (didn't they do so last year or the year before?) but personally I think it's very bad luck to do so. After all, look what happened to the 1996 Braves when they didn't pop any champagne upon winning the division or even NL title, expecting to "save it" for their second straight World Series title. Well we all know how that turned out...
