Gregg Marshall tapping into his inner Butch Jones:

“I don’t know, Paul,” Marshall said when asked if this loss would get his team respect. “How many years do we have to do this to make people respect our program? I don’t know. That’s up to you guys. I mean, I know that we have the heart of a champion. I know these guys, how they work, how hard our staff works, how much time, energy, passion we put into this. This will just be more fuel for us.”

Second time in three years these WSU fuckers have talked poo poo before the UK game and ended up heading back home to that fuckhole called Wichita. Enjoy the off season.

Kansas sucks. Kentucky might have terrible people hiding in the mountains but at least it's scenic in many places.

Topeka might be worse than Wichita. It also smells terrible there.

Topeka and Wichita are indeed garbage hellholes but Lawrence is an oasis in the middle of a racist vanilla desert

Never been to Lawrence, but I work with some KU alums and they speak favorably of their time there.

The thing you need to worry about in KY is the KY/TN border. Do not stop there. The reputation is that those towns are lined with people running from the law on one side of the border or the other.

I always pass the Stinking Creek Rd exit.

So happy Lavar Ball can gently caress off for the rest of the tournament. UNC UK should be really good.

Also SEC not looking to shabby these days. What the hell

You're pretty terrible in your own right too, but I'd never call you worse than a Duke fan

Re: game tomorrow. For whatever reason, I've not been a huge fan of this team over the half of the season. I think compared to other Calipari teams at Kentucky this was feels different for whatever reason. Kinda annoys me that I can't out my finger on it. I wouldn't be surprised from any outcome ranging between winning a close game to getting beat by 10-15 and never really being in it once UNC got up. Although, I thought they would lose to UCLA again and they proved me wrong.

To be fair, I didn't go to school with Duke fans as a kid, so it's probably sample bias.

Really do think my initial impressions of this year that Kentucky was going to win it are going to pan out, though. Never should've been wowed by Villanova as much as I did as the season went on.

I wish I felt the same. If I were betting on the game, I'd take UNC at the current spread. *shrugs*

Duke fans were terrible growing up and my brother in law is one and it's the loving worst.

So people are saying this is Gonzaga's first Final Four ever, but I could've sworn that Adam Morrison(? the mustache & mullet guy) played at Gonzaga and that his weird on-court nervous breakdown was in the title game like a decade ago. What am I remembering wrong here?

Everything but him crying.

It's probably because it's rare to find a moment that iconic in one of the middle rounds. The Sweet 16 has neither the massive upsets of the opening two rounds or the championship stakes of the Final Four.

Which makes it even better that he laid at mid court and cried.

If I remember right, it was also one of the first teams Few had that got a lot of national attention for their regular season run.

I just don't know how he does it. Guy like that given such a hard hand to play. Not to mention, UNC has to be one of the hardest places to recruit. Hell, they lack history and famous alums. Arena is pretty lovely, and they play in a bad conference where you never get national attention. But dad gummit with good guys like Roy out there, someone is always fighting the big guys.

Here’s a link to that in case Dejan would find it interesting.

I didn’t read it again but aside from a few culture changes I’d imagine it’d mostly hold true for big time basketball recruiting.

Every now and then those state schools can keep the local talent home but it’s not too often. I remember a similar situation when KCP chose UGA.

No home and home but will at neutral court.
