It’s hard being the gold standard of college basketball and having everyone be jealous. [Reply]

The last time UK was the gold standard of anything was 10 years ago (and they lost to Wisconsin in the FF while being so), been a rough decade or so in Lexington [Reply]

The “rough decade” involved making the second weekend three years in a row and losing in the Elite 8 on a shot with a handful of seconds left and in OT. COVID canceled season won the SEC and the team after 38-1 also won the SEC.
It’s really only been a rough 4 season stretch. [Reply]

Awwww. Advanced metrics. How cute.
UK - 4 wins against top 10 ranked opponents. 6 wins against top 15 ranked opponents.
What does KU have.
1 win against a top 10 opponent. 2 wins against top 15 ranked opponents.
