UK fans were worried about playing Minnesota

From a Kentucky site:

If it is not in the first round, then there is no need to worry.

LOL

yea, and whats sad is I know its true and I'm laughing about it now

at first we denied there were problems "What do you mean we don't have any signature wins, WVU is a signature win for this team"

then we got angry " This is all Tubby's fault"

then there was bargaining - " Just wait until we get new players in next year and then we can make a decision about whether its our coach"

Then there was depression "This team has quit on the coach"

Then finally acceptance - "please don't make us play Minnesota in the NIT!"

The Kentucky HS tournament has Rupp booked, so they're playing Kentucky-UNLV in the old Memorial Auditorium in Lexington. Tickets are flying out the door.

Didn't Ohio State play an NIT game at St. John Arena last year or year before?

Memorial Coliseum is a wonderful place for a basketball game.

Memorial Coliseum is a wonderful place for a basketball game.

While Memorial Coliseum is remodeled, it had the atmosphere of the Barn. It may set a new record for scalped tickets as its seating has been reduced. Home of the Lady Wildcats.
