    Thanks for letting me post here

    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...

    Meet the Kentucky Wildcats

    So what is Cal guilty of? I know what Camby and Rose did, but what did Cal do? As for my opinion of Cal before he came to UK, it was based on the same media ramblings everyone else hears. I was skeptical when I heard Cal was coming to UK, because despite what you may think, our basketball...

    Meet the Kentucky Wildcats

    Interesting that none of you choose to actually research for yourself, but instead believe what a select few in the media feed you. Oh well, believe what you want. I used to be the same way. As for Tubby Smith, he was a great guy, but unfortunately not a great coach.

    Meet the Kentucky Wildcats

    I'm not going to get into a juvenile mudslinging contest on your site. All I'll say is, do your own research and tell me what you find. The FF's at UMass and Memphis were stricken from the record books because of two dirty players, not because of dirty coaches. The fact is, Calipari doesn't...

    Meet the Kentucky Wildcats

    Cal was clean four years ago and he's clean now. His image is based solely on a bunch of lazy media types who would rather repeat the same old lines instead of actually doing some research. Before UK hired him, I had the same opinion as many of you do. I assumed he was dirty, because that's...

    Disrespect...from UK...yes, it can be a motivator!!!!

    I don't know where the OP got those quotes, but that doesn't sound like anything Michael Kidd-Gilchrist would say. He is a very shy kid and doesn't enjoy interviews, but when he is interviewed he is 100% respectful of everyone. Just a great kid all the way around. As for Davis' comment...

    Meet the Kentucky Wildcats

    Actually this is the first time I've done something like this, and I've been on message boards for 18 years now. I'm a former journalist and like to dust off the typing skills occasionally. I don't even post on any other college basketball message boards, other than my home site, Cats...

    Kentucky website

    Every message board community has it's share of extreme fans. Cats Illustrated is by far the most active UK basketball forum, so yes we have some extreme opinions over there. But basketball games aren't won on fan forums, and I can assure you that most of us UK fans have a ton of respect for...

    Meet the Kentucky Wildcats

    I thought Iowa State fans might appreciate a little scouting report from a UK fan, so here goes: Starters Marquis Teague, (6'2" FR PG) - Teague is the latest in a string of turbo-talented freshman point guards for John Calipari. However, he is a notch below the previous studs (Derrick...

    ***Official Kentucky Prediction Thread***

    Pat Riley is a Kentucky legend whose jersey hangs in the Rupp Arena rafters. He attends UK games whenever he can. But, of course, he was there to scout future NBA players also.

    Remember me?

    UK fan here, back to say hello from Lexington, Kentucky. I figured the Cyclones would beat that overrated UConn team, but I didn't think you'd do it so easily. I'm happy though, because I picked you guys in every one of my brackets. On the other hand, I'm not happy to see your team as our...

    Kentucky - Indiana Sweet 16 Matchup

    This UK fan would love a rematch with Indiana, but they may not even make it past the first weekend of the tournament. The Hoosiers are a very average team when they aren't playing at home, and the injury to Verdell Jones (starting PG and best perimeter defender) is a huge blow. If they aren't...

    Hello from Kentucky

    Lots of inaccuracies in your post, but I'm sure you're just going by what the media tells you. Calipari doesn't have a single NCAA violation in his entire coaching career. None. Camby took money from an agent, but it was during his Junior year at UMass, not during his recruitment, as you...

    Hello from Kentucky

    I was 100% sincere. You guys have an impressive team and I think you'll beat UConn and give us all we can handle in the third round. Yes, I'm biased against the Big East, but my opinion of your team's chances has nothing to do with that. I picked Iowa State to beat UConn on our message board...

    Hello from Kentucky

    No arguing from UK fans. I just came over to wish you guys luck and to let you know you will have a ton of crowd support Thursday from the Big Blue Nation.

    Hello from Kentucky

    We don't fear UConn. It has nothing to do with UConn. We just hate the Big East. You have to consider we have our most hated rival an hour down the road (Louisville) and we constantly hear their fans talk about the "great Big East conference". It long ago became sickening to listen to. So...

    An opportunity....

    This UK fan is predicting an Iowa State win over UConn.

    Hello from Kentucky

    I just wanted to let you guys know that you will have a huge home court advantage against UConn. There will be at least 10,000 UK fans (probably more) in the house and every one of us will be rooting for Iowa State to knock off UConn. Good luck and enjoy your stay in our beautiful state -- and...
