    You are posting what I am feeling about this team as well. If Riley gets off the snide and these kids keep improving every week.........well now we may have a little something to look forward to in March. :ninja2:

    Yeah, I’m not a fan of accusing every other school of paying players except for the holy and pious University of Florida. UK, for all their alleged cheating hasn’t really been better than us. In the past almost quarter century of this millennium, UF has been to the NCAA Final 3 times with two championships. UK has been twice with one championship. They have an illusion of being the SEC’s top program, but we have a legitimate claim to it. No other SEC team is even at the discussion table.

    It is true. Ask Billy D. Plenty of stories about how frustrated Billy was with Phil Knight for subsidizing UK recruiting with under the table payouts.

    Oh for sure. That is one big reason he left college was becsuse of the under table recruiting in college basketball. Look. Everyone does it but some programs do it more than others.

    Today on Rupp Rafters, I learned that the biased, anti-UK refs shackled the Cats all game long. UK had to overcome the bias. I guess the bias wasn't strong enough to beat good ole Kentucky mojo.
