Get over it.

They hope that Kentucky will just pack up and go home. In response to Tennessee ATO saying that Kentucky should "EASILY" defeat Georgia. Is that as "EASY" as Tennessee beating South Carolina? Watch your overconfident rear end my friend, it might just come back to haunt you. Regardless, Kentucky is in the NCAA tourney no matter what they do against Georgia, no matter when the game is played. Anybody that thinks otherwise is living in a dream world or doesn't know what they are talking about or both. Kentucky haters had better get us when we are a little down, because it wil be Hell to pay when Billy Clyde gets the Kentucky juggernaut going again and gets rid of the Tubby hangover. Bank on it.

The home wins over UK and Vandy were clearly "very good" wins. The stuff UK has going against it is the 4-7 record away from the friendly confines and the 5-10 record against the RPI top 100. And the 2 horrible early-season losses are hanging around UK's neck like an albatross. I think UK needs to dispatch UGA today (should be easy) to have any kind of a shot. The Ole Miss and UAB losses certainly helped UK. UK’s resume isn’t as wonderful as many make it out to be, IMHO. The home wins over UK and Vandy were clearly “very good” wins.

How do you think he won that? By winning against bad teams? No, he beat the powerhouse of Tennessee and the 2 time defending National Champs. Are you even a Kentucky fan? If you are, you should become more informed. Even just reading www.ukathletics.com will keep you informed. Billy won SEC coach of the year as well Gail. How do you think he won that?

Most brackets have them as an 8th or 9th seed. Any "concerned " fan such as Gail that makes ridiculous unsubstantiated statements about a phantom ESPN spokeperson saying that Kentucky has wins "only against teams that records weren’t the best and these teams are at the bottom of their conference"(Her Quote). How uninformed does that sound? How can you have a 12-4 record in a conference "ONLY" against teams with bad records? In fact, the only team with a winning record that Kentucky did NOT beat was Mississippi State. But they did beat Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Arkansas and Florida. So THOSE are the facts and all of you Kentucky haters need to look forward to the Cats making the tourney again in spite of TUBBY running the greatest basketball program in the country, with the most wins in history, into the ground for the last 10 years with his lackluster recruiting and his unispired philosophy on offense which was the reason he couldn't recruit with the top programs in the 1st place! If TUBBY was still at Kentucky they would be lucky to win 12 games for the WHOLE SEASON! I am not making any stupid predictions about how they will do in either the SEC tourney or the the NCAA tourney but they will play in BOTH and they will play hard and with HEART even without Patrick Patterson. And Billy Clyde will have them ready for next year and beyond where he will restore UK back to the level that Rick Pitino left it for Tubby. That being a realistic chance of a National Championship in most years. Not just a pipe dream. And definitely more than 1 final four in 10 years. From an "INFORMED" fan.

I think UK does have enough quality wins; as I said on ESPN Radio Louisville today, the issue is that none of them are away from Rupp, which makes winning a game in the SEC Tournament on a neutral floor more important than it might otherwise be. @Brian and Gail -

With wins over Florida Tennessee and Vanderbilt how can we not have good wins. Going 12-4 in the SEC is pretty good for any team. gail you make no sense at all.
