Flexing after a LIBERAL HATE POLICY IS A TERRORIST ATTACK ON AMERICAN PEOPLE
Go Big Blue!!!
Illinois is just a weak tournament team while Kentucky is a good team with a lot of talent.
y u think Jeremy fears nor Jeremiah didn’t go ta Illinois… dey not a strong program ta compete ina March madness ion blame dem fa not goin dere osrs 💯
Congrats to Kentucky. I figured the unforced turnovers we had against Xavier would continue. Kentucky made us pay
UK is a different team when Butler is healthy enough to look like Butler. He brings alot (ball handling, scoring, defense, assists, steals). He just makes it all flow better.
8:51 is diabolical
Excellent game by our UK guys, they showed up tonight. Let's hope they show up for the next one also. Keep busting them brackets fellas!🎉
So glad to finally win a game or two in march. It is hard to beat a team 3 times in a season tho. I always remember in 1986 we beat lsu both times in the regular season. Then beat them in the sec tourney. Then met them in the elite 8 and lost by 2. Maybe we can beat the vols that 3rd time.
Illinois has not been playing high Quality Basketball coming into this Game.🏀
I can't wait to see the Kentucky/Tennessee matchup
lol ivisic bro needs to declare for the draft, many teams would take a chance on shooting big man
Brad underwood needs to go
Illini no.true floor general
Kentucky looked good they one of the teams that beat us (Duke)well coached and deep
Illinois is soft on D
Kobi Brea went crazy today 🔥
brea was looking like devin booker out there.
Boring
It's Wild that the WildCats Were not the Favorites
Tennessee really gotta play against their kryptonite to get to the elite 8😂
Florida fan here. Way to represent the SEC cats!
Footwork of brea at 8.15 to get open was beautiful
Tennessee may have lost 2 times during the regular season, but it's March now. Throw everything out the window.
Can we please get back to calling illegal screens. So tired of seeing running shoulder checks springing guys loose and announcers yelling about what a great screen it was.
Wildcat nation 💙🏀
Kentucky defensively in the first half was excellent not sure why pope mixed up his scheme in the 2nd half.
GO BIG BLUE!💙
Mark Pope immediately taking Kentucky to a Sweet 16 is super cool
Seems like one of the very best guys in basketball. Glad he's succeeding despite all the pressure
Huge win Kentucky basketball ! Expierence roster matters ncaa tournament ! Kentucky has all that ! Super win !
#22 Williams on Kentucky reminds me of Jaren Jackson Jr without the shooting. Both have great defensive instincts and can place the ball on the ground a little bit. Also he's a decent passer in the highpost.
Every Chicago team is a joke now the owners don’t want to pay for good players so they’ll never win what a joke 😆😂🤣
Why do people keep watching this junk it’s all a rigged joke like the nba did people really think Illini was gonna win 😆😂😂
Kentucky is not the dominant program they used to be hopefully they can get back to that
And to think Kats started the season with a new coach who had NOTHING! He build a roster of players who didn’t know one another and his coaching staff from scratch. Impressive to say the least!
5:43 was amazing
I'm favoured financially with Bitcoin ETFs approval, Thank you buddy.$28,600 weekly profit regardless of how bad it gets on the economy.
Kentucky vs Texas tech in the natty. You can book it.
Koby Brea is a first round pick 🔥
I can’t believe there hasn’t been a single overtime game in men’s basketball yet this year.
When Coach Pope was putting this Roster together he was meeting these players at the airport and driving them personally to University of Kentucky ! Williams was the first player Coach Pope got to transfer to Kentucky !
50 years of watching hoops, I have never seen a "mix" Defense. Is it zone or man to man or let em fly bye me into the promised land. "Zame" cross of zone n man to man. At whose guarding whom. No hes on 2nd. Let me back off that moving screen.
