I've been reading other fanbase forums before we play them in basketball. Barnes seems to be almost universally liked by rival fans and most even admit that they like this team in general. Kind of odd to be No. 1 in the nation and not only not be hated, but also liked.
Don’t read the Kentucky boards then... according to them grant gets all the calls, our team is full of thugs and we shouldn’t be able to enjoy this great year because we don’t have their tradition. Rupp rafters seems to consist of some of the worst people I’ve ever witnessed. Totally despicable people.I've been reading other fanbase forums before we play them in basketball.
