The early rounds of the NCAA tournament are awesome due to upsets and so many games happening in 4 days.
The Final Four and Championship game have a ton of pageantry and importance.
For me, the Elite 8 games are often the most exciting.

UK needs a 1998 Elite 8-type comeback here.

I was just thinking there was some controversy about UK's 1984 Elite 8 win over Illinois. My next thought was, "I'm old."

To UK fans saying this is bad for Pope, Calipari and Barnhart were distant at best. The NIL pool is not going to run too well if the coach and AD have to both court them but are not on the same page.

Cal and Pitino had plenty of regular-season games as well.
UK vs. UMass
Louisville vs. Memphis
UK vs. Louisville
Their 1st meeting as coaches was in Nov/Dec 91 (I think) when UMass came to Lexington after the Great Alaska Shootout.
1991-2025 and possibly more is a lengthy rivalry.

Joe Ingles has an autistic son who recently watched his first NBA game in an arena.
But Ingles didn't play in that game.
Tonight, the Timberwolves put Ingles in the starting lineup with his son finally able to watch his dad play ❤️

UK's schedule has been really tough (it will get harder with Auburn twice & a road game rematch with Alabama). 18 wins and counting with wins over Tennessee 2X, Duke, Florida, the Zags, Louisville, TAMU, & Miss St. is very solid.

Janick Sinner's 3-month ban more or less closes an odd and negative story in tennis.
I've spoken to two different athletic trainers who both said his team's explanation while plausible raises a lot of questions.

I played in during doubles work at tennis practice this week because we had odd numbers. I played poorly (rusty would be an understatement).
I did hit a winning lob volley when all 4 of us were at the net.
I said, "That shot was from 1983."
My partner asked, "1983?! How old are you?!?!"

Kentucky being 17-7 with the SEC as strong as it is and a schedule that included the top 3 ACC teams, a Big 10 team, and the Zags is unexpected and nice in my view.

Considering Belinda hadn’t played a tour-level match in 16 months, she looked impressive out there.
Taking balls early & timing the ball wonderfully as always.
✅1st tour-level win as a mom
Welcome back.

Good for Vanderbilt to get a bowl win. It is good for them to finish above .500 and close out a season that saw a huge win over Alabama with another win.
I feel for Ga Tech after the tough regular season finale loss to UGA.

Pat Kelsey used his timeouts extremely wisely. Both teams want a fast pace, but when UK was getting any sort of scoring flow, Kelsey wisely slowed the game down with a TO. Hitting one right before a media timeout was a real momentum killed. Smart.
UK won and U of L is in good hands.
