hope this UCONN run gives the AAC some cred
I've been saying its not a bad bball league, - UCONN, memphis, cincinatti; Larry brown rebuilt solid SMU (NIT finalist) team, and Kelvin Sampson in Houston. Temple won't be terrible forever either

Orlando Antigua too at USF

Football, i don't know, but they UCF won one of the top 4 bowls against Baylor. All this talk of "mid-majors" , but not a lot of conference can boast a team in the men's title game and a football team with a major bowl win.

For added shits and giggles, also the favorite for the women's bball title.

I think there's potential in the AAC.

There is no legit AAC conference bashing except for the TV contract. The conference has proven it can compete at the highest level.

I don't know if there are any UConn fans on GAF honestly

Maybe they are all on a ladies basketball messageboard, and haven't even realized whats been going on.

I love smack talk from fans of a team that lost to a 14 seed this year and a 15 seed 2 years ago.

 

[bachikarn]

Yeah, it's a good season all things considered. Not looking forward to the upcoming rebuilding year. Though I think there's enough talent that I don't think it'll be as bad as 2007-2008.

We aren't going to rebuild, we'll reload. Next year's team will definitely take a step back defensively, but we'll take a step up offensively. Think we can make a FF run next year as well. Probably won't be a 1 seed though.

I hate when people complain about announcers being homers... but this guy.

Which station are you watching? Because this game has homer announcers for both teams.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Here they come

 

[Servbot24]

Which station are you watching? Because this game has homer announcers for both teams.

TNT. The announcer is actually singing the KY fight song on KY buckets and refering to them as "we".

 

[Grover Cleveland]

TNT. The announcer is actually singing the KY fight song on KY buckets and giving them props when WI scores.

TNT is the designated Kentucky-Cast

TruTV is SconiVision

TBS is the actual broadcast with the only slightly biased regular announcers

 

[Fjordson]

Go UK. As long we play decent I'm happy. Final Four after our bad season has been great.

TNT. The announcer is actually singing the KY fight song on KY buckets and refering to them as "we".

That's by design. TNT and Tru TV have homer broadcasts, TBS is the regular one.

Edit: beaten

 

[Seth C]

TNT. The announcer is actually singing the KY fight song on KY buckets and refering to them as "we".

That's intentional. One of those announcers is Rex Chapman, who played for Kentucky. So he is "we". TruTV has the Badgers homers. TBS has the "neutral" announcers.

You're basically listening to a UK player and the local pre-game sports broadcasters.

 

[Servbot24]

Ah, gotcha.



I'll go with the WI homers

 

[BTM]

Badgers got this. B1G!

 

[Paskil]

Badgers coming on strong early.

Thats incredible, I actually like that.

 

[everyday math]

BRUST!!!

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

Adolph Rupp would go WTF at what is on the court right now, lololol.

 

[Talon]

Hey, a reverse Kentucky - UTEP.

 

[Tcbys]

TNT is the designated Kentucky-Cast

TruTV is SconiVision

TBS is the actual broadcast with the only slightly biased regular announcers

Ah was wondering why the game is on all these diffrent channels instead of one.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

I dont even like basketball

 

[Tcbys]

Yeesh whats with these questonable calls.

 

[Talon]

Kentucky switching on D now? Hmm, they're pretty long.

 

[Seth C]

Hey, a reverse Kentucky - UTEP.

Texas Western. It became UTEP later on.

It's good that Grant Hill had a basketball career because he can't act at all.

 

[thefro]

Bo Ryan is going to melt down on these refs pretty soon... will be fun to watch.

 

[Talon]

Texas Western. It became UTEP later on.

Hence why I said UTEP since Texas Western doesn't exist any more.

I know my history, Seth.

 

[everyday math]

Terrible calls. Eck

 

[iamblades]

From what it looks like neither of these teams can defend what the other wants to do.

Basically it will come down to whether UK can get UW in foul trouble on the drives or if UW can hit a good percentage of their jumpers in this dome(so far they look good on that one).

 

[Mrbob]

Refs going to try and push Kentucky through tonight.

 

[Seth C]

Hence why I said UTEP since Texas Western doesn't exist any more.

Ehhhh. If it's a reverse something there needs to be an original something. There is no Kentucky/UTEP to reverse!

Trolling is the last refuge of the Salty

 

[Slizz]

This game is going to go to shit fast with all the fouls.

 

[Seth C]

Rex Chapman only knows the phrase "big boy". I think he is hungry.

 

[everyday math]

Like a ninja.

 

[Talon]

Trolling is the last refuge of the Salty

Did we find the lone UConn fan on GAF?

 

[iamblades]

Fuck randle rolled his ankle..

 

[Talon]

Ugh, another Randle injury.

 

[DrMungo]

Fuck randle rolled his ankle..

He'll be back

 

[everyday math]

Free throws are making a huge difference.

 

[Seth C]

Fuck randle rolled his ankle..

Looks like just a cramp. But I think we are going to finally hit our game where we don't make any FTs.

 

[truly101]

What happened to Randle? Ankle?

 

[Talon]

What happened to Randle? Ankle?

Rolled his ankle coming down off that last shot.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Lee back to stuntin

 

[Seth C]

Marcus Lee dunked on Kaminsky's ass and then he pulled the bitch move and the ref sucked his cock on it. No complaints, Wisconsin fans. Not after that.

 

[BJK]

Badger's gonna badger...

Let's go Red!

 

[everyday math]

Make all the dunks you want. Badgers still in the lead.

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

Quite funny but Wisky is balling.

 

[Fjordson]

Ugh. Our frontcourt getting thin now with Randle hurt.

 

[thefro]

Looks like Bo Ryan got the fouls evened up

Kentucky boosters are going to have to cough up more cash at halftime to get some more calls.

 

[Seth C]

Ugh. Our frontcourt getting thin now with Randle hurt.

We are going to lose, and I expect at least 3 of our players to foul out in the process, but I'm happy. Don't even care.

 

[everyday math]

Dat Godzilla commercial.

 

[Fjordson]

We are going to lose, and I expect at least 3 of our players to foul out in the process, but I'm happy. Don't even care.

Yeah, I will not be gutted like I would have been last week. Injuries are always disappointing, though.
