Indiana/Kentucky

[doozer]

this match up has lost a bit of it's luster on the national scene over the last several years. but if you're still a fan of either of these two teams, you still hate the other one with a disgust that cannot be put into words.

i like IU to win in Bloomington.

4:00 pm. CBS.

Hoosiers up 12 at the half.

Both teams look bad.

It's going to be a long season for Kentucky fans.

 

[StunnA N' Orange]

Both teams look bad.

Both teams are depleted with injuries, though.

 

[doozer]

IU is going to be fine.

IU is going to be fine.

Kentucky, on the other hand, could very well make their first NIT appearance in almost 30 years.

 

[NCGatorBait]

Honestly..with this offense..how long will Billy G make it at UK?

maybe. they need some help.

I think that it will have been 23 years for the NIT (1985) and 17 years for no postseason (probation in 1991). EDIT: Nope, you're correct. 1979 for the last NIT appearance. I was way off. Sweet 16 in 1985. I thought they missed the NCAAs after the 1984 Final 4 run (that included playing the '84 regionals at Rupp).

nothing puts a smile on my face more that a UK loss.

Even a Vol victory?

 

[hatvol96]

Kentucky was in the NCAA tournament in 1985.

Even a Vol victory?

when you're bought up in the religion of Indiana basketball by two parents who are alumni, yes, a Kentucky loss to Indiana in basketball trumps a Vol victory.

Yeah, I looked it up and made the edit. Now, I'm wondering why I always thought that. That basically dates me as a fan. I go back to 1985-86.

Kentucky is still missing their best player or atleast second best in Meeks. They'll get 'some what' better...

I did Lol when the student section chanted "Jordan's better!"

 

[ukvols]

That reminded me of hearing UT's 1999 chant of "G.G.'s better."
