It is UK, NOT KU. KU is Kansas.

Just a typo. I had “KU” in my mind after reading about them getting whipped this week

Bluegrass. I like the late great Doc Watson myself. Of course Bill Monroe named it.

I truly hate college sports. A bunch of retarded ‘Amish’, pretending they are capable of higher education.

Hunting, fishing, shooting and MLB for me.

I’m a Syracuse Fan/Alumni!!!....I still have painful memories of 1996 and just did not like Louisville in my former beloved Big East....

After this victory, Kentucky should run the table on the regular season. March Madness…now that’s a different story.

This Kentucky team may be the best college team of All-Time.... Certainly, since the beginning of One-and-done.

They may have to change the rules after this team.

This UK team reminds me of the 1990-1991 UNLV team—the last men’s team that nearly had a perfect season (losing only to Duke in the Final Four in 1991). Is there a team out there that can be equivalent of the 1990-1991 Duke team now?
