Final Score

After a win, no matter how close or how hard it was to pull it out, the Big Blue faithful will always cherish it. They’ll go to work the next day and ask their colleagues if they caught the game last night. Of course, then a discussion will follow that contains some sort of negative comment about Isaiah Briscoe. Now, whether or not Briscoe played well or didn’t, that’s beside the point. He will ultimately do something outrageous that makes them scream at John Calipari to take him out as if the Hall of Fame Coach can hear them.

After a loss, which is something Cats fans have had to deal with quite a bit this season, the comments go in one of two directions.

Option A: “This team will never make it to the second round. We don’t even deserve to be in the tournament.”

Option B: “Everyone Calm down, its just the regular season, Coach Cal will have his boys ready come march. Just

With either option, one thing is common. Running through the minds of every Kentucky Basketball fan is a glimmer of hope and a vision that this is the year that a ninth banner will be hung in the rafters of Rupp Arena
