Birmingham makes sense due to facilities and a central location. However, unlike the football title game, it is tougher for other teams to win a whole tournament (not just one game) in Alabama. In addition, it is much harder for fans to travel for a whole weekend vs. one day. Imagine if the...

"And can we really consider Lexington to be a southern city?" Below the Mason-Dixon line, Lexington is very much a Southern city. While it's not geographically in the DEEP South, it is still a southern city, just located in the upper south. A John Hunt Morgan statue is located at the...

Not at all. Get in the shooters' faces, switch between man-to-man, a match up zone, and a 2-3 zone, and double team the post to create turnovers. It's not a coincidence that teams are shooting good against the Tide. Dirty play will not eliminate this. Kentucky was able to shut down...

First #1 ranking in school history ...... ... and they say Kentucky fans are hard on their coach.

I believe the SEC is as strong as advertised. What was missing in the pre-season hype is that Kentucky was severely under-rated (picked 3rd in East and 5th overall) and the power was incorrectly placed in the west (UK, UGA and Fla are a combined 18-0 vs. the west). I just hope the SEC can...

If Alabama wins Saturday: They'll be the West #2 and will await the winner of East #3 Georgia vs. Ole Miss/Arkansas (loser of Saturday's game will be here as West #6) If Alabama loses Saturday: They'll be the West #4 and will play East #5 South Carolina in the first round. Beating South...

Thanks.

Would someone put SC game score in a thred please?

Did you watch that game in Knoxville? Fouls do not have to be even to be fair. When one team fouls significantly more, they (usually) get whistled for more fouls. Kentucky vs. Florida (in Lexington) Foul shots: Kentucky: 3 Florida: 18 C'mon, man. This foul argument is pathetic and weak...

One game you might care about: Alabama vs. Kentucky Alabama: 22-30 Free Throws Kentucky: 17-21 Free Throws Regardless, Kentucky goes to the line alot because it works the ball inside and rarely shoots a three-pointer 5 seconds into the offense.

Kentucky is winning b/c they have the best defense in the country and are dominating the best league at 14-0. Let's leave the officiating excuse to schools like Florida (I've seen that all over their boards) because that's all it is - an excuse. "Our guys played very hard," Harrick said. "It...

Kentucky 66 Alabama 64 Could easily be a Tide victory, but the Cats are playing too good right now and rarely get rattled on the road.

For Alabama, getting out to a good start will restore confidence in both the team and the fans. Last year, the Tide was successful in getting to the foul line and knocking down the 3 to beat the Cats. Kentucky has shot consistently well from the foul line in SEC play, and Alabama needs to...

Thanks for the reply. Growing up in Owensboro (Rex Chapman's hometown) and owning season tickets at Rupp, I am a huge UK fan. Attending Alabama for both undergraduate and graduate school, I am also a Tide fan. I know it was an honest mistake, but Coach Pitino is unfortunately at arch-rival...

I noticed that Kentucky signed Bobby Perry out of Durham, and that neither Duke nor UNC offered him a scholarship. Sounds like he's been a little under-rated due to injuries. You're around the area, what do you think? Here's one link to a local story...
