    The last minute of this game was so unusual - rare that you see a final minute sequence without the endless fouls and stoppages - the last 51 seconds actually took about 51 seconds in real time.

      Bro I’m still coming here and every other great year just to remember how great things used to be. I appreciate Cal for what he has done but I’m thinking it’s run it course. If they come out next year like they have the last 2 he will be done in my opinion. I gave up on this season. They beat Tennessee again but they just play uninspired basketball. So again I’m not going to pull out the pitch fork just yet but man with all the talent coming in and will definitely have ppl back they better not suck.

      @@stevetackett581 honestly I feel really good and I know it's a but of a gamble if he can recruit or not. As a Kentucky fan I almost feel like we sold our soul when we hired Cal to win One title. We had no heart and the guys we got most of them didn't care about the name on the chest, they cared because Cal would do everything in his power to get them drafted. It may not work with Pope. But I know Pope will build rosters that doesn't start from scratch every year and it really did feel like we finally got our heart back our soul back. As I said I'm thankful for what Cal did for us but the jersey might as well said Calipari on the front because that's how it seemed eventually under Cal. Also the fact that Cal never made in game adjustments and never would call or draw up plays and never tried anything new on defense and had this throw it in and let them play which lost us so many games. Sorry about the book but I'm great with Pope because he brings back what me didn't have with Cal which is tradition and heart. He is one of our own and he knows the good and the bad and the ugly with this program and having a coach that will actually coach them and with the offense he runs if he can recruit which with the money they have Kentucc c z c xky will be OK. So in short lol I love the hire.

      In hindsight however, this Kentucky wasn’t as talented as we thought in the moment. Davis was the only star. MKG has been able to stick in the league as a role player. Miller and jones have been in and out. But the other guys are all playing overseas.
      There have been dozens of teams more talented top to bottom since that haven’t sniffed a championship. Better job by Cal winning this one than many are willing to give credit for

    This is coming from a Tennessee born and raised Vol fan that lives in Louisville, this UK team was one of the best teams i have ever seen, along with 1990 UNLV, 1992 Duke, 1995 UCLA, 1996 Kentucky, 1999 UConn, 2006-07 Florida. These guys lost to one team at the buzzer and another team they beat twice in the regular season, avenging one loss while the other team didn't make it, plus they remained #1 after both losses. UK fans better soak it in as long as they can, because word is, after Phil Jackson accepts the New York Knicks deal, John Calipari is his first choice.

      Being a born and raised UK Wildcat fan, I'm a mortal enemy of Indian by birth. But I would also be remiss not to mention how great the 1975 and 1976 Indian Hoosiers teams were. They only lost 1 time in 2 seasons, and that was to Kentucky in the 1975 Regional Final with a trip to the Final 4 on the line. A loss that likely would not have happened had Indiana's all-american forward Scott May not have broken his arm and went down for the season. That same Indian team had hammered Kentucky earlier in the season at Assembly Hall in Bloomington. They came back in 1976, went unbeaten, and won the National Championship.

      Roger Edgerton yeah cuz he was surrounded by shooters. he was a freshman And named player of the year and mvp of the tournament. he was a fifth leading score on the team cuz he was a big man that could pass, And he was a hell of a jump shooter considering he grew like 18 inches from age 16-18. I understand your point but he didn’t have to utilize all of his talent because he had four other superstars on the court with him

    • @nateman79
      @nateman79 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      kyleelvis3577 I despise the one and done. It worked in 2012 because Anthony Davis was a once in a generation player and we had a senior with Darius Miller and Doron lamb and Terrance Jones back as sophomores... oh another once in a generation Kidd-Gilchrist. The one and done process will never work out that well again. The year we lost to Wisconsin in the final four while undefeated was a fluke and we could’ve very easily had 4 or 5 losses that year. That actually would’ve done some good because that team looked so stiff in the tournament I’m surprised they didn’t lose in the second round

      Coach Cal always does a great job. It’s just difficult in this modern age to get young players to play as a team. They want to be the star & say “me me me.” As a UK fan I’m getting tired of these new players every year using the school name for the NBA. It’s frustrating. This 2012 team actually had 3 returning starters from the previous year, one of them a senior.
      This 2012 team wanted to be a TEAM over individual stars, & they followed coach Cal. One of the Best all around teams in 50 years. The 2015 KY was the best team in history from the 1 to the 10 spot. Unfortunately shot clock violations didn’t count that post season.

The South Region was also where Kentucky (coached by Tubby Smith), as a #2 seed came out of to win the 1998 title.

    Game commentary brought to you by Jim Nance, Clark Kellogg, and Louisville's official minister of propaganda on the day Steve Kerr. Before the ball was ever put in the air to jump it up, Kerr was telling us how Kentucky to this point had all comfortable match-up's against the likes of Iowa St., Indiana, & Baylor, but how Louisville was gonna make things very uncomfortable for the Cats in this game. If your a lifelong, born and raised your entire life Cat fan as I am, a tournament run that included sending arch rivals Indiana, Louisville, & Kansas asses packing on the way to hanging another banner in Rupp Arena just doesn't get any sweeter than that!!

    Contrary to popular belief, the winner of the Bluegrass hasn't always advanced the furthest in the NCAA tournament
    1997-98 - Louisville wins the battle, but Kentucky won the NCAA title (#2 seed)
    2004-05 - Kentucky narrowly wins the battle, but falls in the E8 to MSU in OT (Louisville survives WVU in OT to advance to the Final Four).

      Unfortunately, since Calipari became coach, it has been the game to determine who goes the furthest in the tournament between both teams. Personally, i'm glad we're having more size to our team this year because that issue has been why UNC and UK have caused us trouble.

      Should be much better upfront this year. Obviously, being the tallest team does not absolve the team of any liability (Kansas - 2012 defeated UNC who was the taller team that season).

    Also, there was some players returning from 2010-11 (Miller, Lamb, Jones). Now, the only returning player who got a few minutes was Wiltjer. Indiana is a very good team offensively, but the way Kentucky experienced our defensive pressure, it remains to be seen whether the Hoosiers will be able to handle it, should we meet in the NCAA tournament.

    Dude, their main player PLAYED against us earlier that year and we STILL WON. That UNC team had played together the ENTIRE year before during the 2011 season. UK actually beat them in the elite 8 that year as well. But in 2012 we had 3 new freshman starters playing in just their 7th game together and we beat them ANYWAYS. They hit their highest % from 3 of the entire year against us while we shot our second WORST % from 3 and we STILL WON. How on earth could they beat us when we were clicking...

  • @251to502
    @251to502 11 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Was looking at the stats in the title game, and Kansas' 35.5 percent shooting is VERY similar to their performance against VCU in the 2011 Elite 8 (35.5 percent).

      @danielward8645 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Wildcat 8 rick struggled with this rivalry at UL. He has a losing record against tubby smith too. And I like tubby but pitino was a far superior coach. Yet he could only muster a 2-4 record against tubby during the series.
      Hell, he nearly lost to Gillispie in freedom hall with a team that was a 1 seed versus a UK team that went to the nit. If not for a miracle Edgar Sosa three.
      As a college basketball fan it pained me to see pitino’s career end the way it did. On the court he was one of the all time greats and maybe the best defensive mind the game has ever seen. But he’ll be remembered more for hookers, and the first vacated title in NCAA history.

  • @26michaeluk
    @26michaeluk 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I overwhelmingly agree. The Duke vs UNC rivalry is ESPN hype. I dont care what anyone says, the Kentucky vs Louisville rivalry is the best and most bitter rivalry in the history of college basketball. Can you imagine December? The past 2 national champions, both will be ranked in the top 5, I CANT WAIT. One of us is going to win the title again. KENTUCKY the state IS college basketball, not UNC. Good luck to you all again this year and congrats on the title

      Aeradom that and I just think the pressure of an undefeated season is too much in the age of social media for college age kids, probably anyone to handle.
      The 2015 team was more talented and flat out better than this one. Physically there wasn’t a team in college that could handle them. and they still collapsed under that pressure.

  • @MrUKFORLIFE

    Yeah, you make a good point. That's why the NCAAT is one of the most difficult tournaments to win in any sport...if you have a bad shooting day/night or if a team just shoots lights out then you'll probably lose. Most of the time, the best overall team doesn't win it all, that's why I'm thankful for the Championship UK just won as I'm sure you are for KU's Championship in 2008.

    Strange as it seems, but Louisville's run to the Final Four this season sort of mirrors Kentucky's run in 2011, in that they both were #4 seeds (UK in the East Region - 2011, UL in the West Region this past season), they didn't finish as the top team in their conference (FL was 13-3 in 2011, Syracuse was 17-1 this year), but won the conference tournament, and each knocked off a #1 seed (Ohio State, Michigan State) in the Sweet 16 by playing fierce defense.

    You got the timing exact. Kentucky was #2 in the country until UNC fell to UNLV on the road.

Kentucky also proved one thing: it ain't always about offense, it's also about defense (holding your opponent in check)

    Also, you HAVE to make free throws. We, as well as Florida and Arizona had been disturbing at the line last season. Kentucky, who is usually rough at the line happen to shoot their best percentage against us (82%), while shooting 67% (KSU), 73% (WSU), 55% (UM), 67% (UW - 95%), and 54% (UC - 100%).
