MARCH. IS. MADNESS. OWEH FORCES OT!!

@webbvilleBeano Yeah that was an unbelievable battle

@TylerJRuss That game reminded me a lot of the 2014 Wichita St game. The last 5-6 minutes were just both teams making big play after big play.

Now that I’ve stopped shaking and have a second to type 😂 1. Otega Oweh: Pretty self explanatory but 35 pts, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, my goodness. That level of clutch needs to be studied. 2. BG & Mo: 9 (!!) combined blocks from the two of them and 27 combined points… absolutely unreal. 3. Aberdeen: 16 pts, 4-8 from deep, he put in his work as well and balled. This team was built for a moment like that. All the adversity all year, that game was a result of that. #MarchMadness

@John39046953795 No I don’t blame him. I wasn’t dissing him at all just thought it was funny

@TylerJRuss Can you blame him though? If he even says he's proud of the team somebody will give him crap for it

Even after a win like that, JQ is going to read 😂

Collin Chandler on how the adversity of this season played a huge factor in that 89-84 win over No. 10 Santa Clara.

@BryanDFischer I was covering UK game in Milwaukee last year and got stopped by security because I had water in a different cup. I didn’t even realize lol. It’s real folks.

It’s the most magical time of the year…

This is either going to be a good thing or it may turn into a self-hate, “I told ya so” moment😂

@MattSakR2NG I’m gonna be sick for you 😂 hey, at least it’s downloaded at some point though lol

Just found out my fiancée undownloads the March Madness app for 11 out of the 12 months

@calandricky Dang dude 😂 when did I say they were gonna go to the natty lol. All I did was tell people what happened the last time they played in St. Louis

@TylerJRuss This team does not have a Julius Randle or the Harrison twins or a WCS Please stop with this nonsense

Last time UK took the floor in St. Louis for the NCAA Tournament, it danced as far as the National Championship… as a No. 8 seed! Included in that was an unthinkable upset win over Ron Baker and No. 1 seed Wichita State in the Round of 32. Low expectations with an unwanted seed have been good to the Cats in STL, and for their sake, they need history to be on their side. #MarchMadness2026

Not worried about playing the little brother of the University of Kentucky in basketball on Thursday.
