I think Raff brought that up during the game. We've played three #1 seeds all in virtual home games for them.
If we get a #1 next year do we get to play in Des Moines?
nope. and this thread is full of win

How classy would you be if your kid only had one eyebrow that goes all the way across his forehead???

so your starters are all basically freshmen and sophomores, how many more McDonalds All Americans are coming in next year?

I don't know about the players, but Davis's momma was not classy at all.
I'm rooting for Barnes & Co. now, lol!
Eh....I don't think that was on Royce. You have a great team that was on fire tonight from distance. Oh, and Royce was right.
Give me six first round lottery picks and in another three years, they would be like the Oklahoma City Thunder. Scary good. They gave us their A game and Cal was ripping the refs he was so nervous.Nobody is going to stop Kentucky. They'd beat NBA teams, crap they have just as much talent as some NBA teams do.
As I said before, as soon as the pairings were announced, I figured it would be UK vs Iowa State in the Round of 32. I'm not just a diehard UK fan, but also an avid follower and student of college basketball in general, so I knew how dangerous your team was. Now that we've played, my opinion hasn't changed.
I'm sure your game plan was to take away our strength -- the paint -- and allow us to shoot threes, which is our perceived weakness. But those who claim we can't shoot threes know nothing about our team. We don't shoot a lot of threes because we typically dominate inside. Why take threes when you can get dunks and layups? So while we didn't take a lot of threes this year, we hit a good percentage of the threes we took. We shoot 38% as a team. We rank around #250 in the country in 3PT attempts, but we're in the top 50 in 3PT percentage. When we take them, we hit a lot of them.
So, while this wasn't a typical game for us style-wise, I give your team credit for it. You did what you had to do to win. We got nothing from a 2nd team all-american (Gilchrist) and our 2nd leading scorer (Lamb) spent much of the game in foul trouble. I thought the refs sucked. Way too many touch fouls called, both ways. That shouldn't happen in the NCAA tourney.
My last point: Royce White. What a player! The only thing he lacks is a shooting stroke. Inside 15 feet he's a monster. We couldn't handle him for awhile, because no one on our team wanted to take a charge from him to stop his drives to the rim. But that changed when he said he was the best player on the floor. I think it was a 42-42 game when he did that, and it lit a fire in our team. That's just not something you do. Our players don't talk trash or hot dog in any way, so when Royce White did that, I think it changed the game. From that moment, we went on something like a 22-2 run. I think he's a great player, but that was a bad decision by him.
Again, thanks for allowing me to post here. This is a great site.
