I wonder where residents go to school. The nearest Kentucky town is 45 minutes away. Tiptonville, TN is much closer, and properties on that land have Tiptonville mailing addresses.

After DJing Huskies for years in the 90s, and even opening the short-lived Downtown Hartford Huskies, I took my talents to Duke (for grad school)

These are videos from our grad school campout where you had to arrive by 5pm Friday, and not leave until 3pm Sunday ... with 30+ random check-ins at all hours of the day & night ... one got disqualified for tickets if one missed 2 check-ins through the weekend

That's awesome, and thank you for sharing your experience and videos!

Curious - so was that just a sectioned off area for grad students, where undergrad were on the other side of a rope? Or did they not make undergrads sleep out like that? It's my understanding if you attended UNC, and wanted to go to the Duke game, you best think ahead cuz you're going to be sleeping outside.

You'd think there would be a Kentucky Bend Bourbon by now where they also grow Kentucky Bluegrass, Featherbed Bent, and California Sensemilia...
 
It will be interesting to watch what happens to Wagler once Boswell returns.

I’m genuinely asking. I thought there was a few Duke fans but I didn’t remember him being one until the last couple weeks. Maybe I just didn’t pay attention until it became obvious.

is the style of play so different or do the officials just make it up as they go along. my daughter's game today took forever because even the local zebras like to inject themselves

23 fouls UConn
15 fouls SJU

15 fouls puke
7 fouls unc - how do you come from behind while committing just 1 foul in the 2nd half

What a douchey thing to say. Duke was in control the entire game. The shot at the buzzer gave UNC their FIRST lead of the game. Nothing about those two games was similar.

But you keep your skirt on

I originally thought he was saying it was douchey to say that to Duke, but then I realized he was saying it was douchey to say that because he's the one who made the "we got punched in the face" thread about UConn lol
 
I realized that too, but the defense of Duke after the UConn criticism earlier was funny. Not that I haven’t had any either, in fairness.

MBB: UNC 71, Duke 68 (February 7, 2026) Postgame Thread

It’s not unfair to ask why Scheyer’s teams blow big leads (in what appears to be) higher frequency than his predecessor’s teams. Random chance? Is it because Scheyer’s teams tend to score in bunches followed by big lulls? Is it lack of composure under game pressure? Scheyer is a good coach, but...

Curious, would you root for Illinois to bolster our earlier win or MSU to knock Illinois down the 1 seed race?
 
Illinois winning in a tight one but Wagler has shot awful today.
 
Illinois win has already aged well enough, an L would probably be better here cuz now they're creeping up to the 1 line if they add a road win at MSU to their resume

The freedom of movement in this Illinois-MState game is so nice.

Can’t wait until we can get out of the Clutch-n-Grab Conference.

Maybe it’s time to sell the contact a bit. A couple calls might loosen things up.

Great move by Fears and then he sold the wide open jumper

The team you root for has won 2 championships in the last 36 months and is currently a # 1 seed, yet you choose to constantly complain and nitpick. Couldn’t imagine being this grumpy.

Some people just can’t handle warranted criticism. I guarantee you Hurley lit these guys up last night.

I bet you have a nice collection of participation trophies at home. Good for you!!
 
Calling a timeout after a player shoots one FT but before the second FT should not be allowed.

No matter, Illinois 's Jake Davis knocks down both with only 1 second left to tie the game. I would love to have that clutch FT shooting on UConn even though they have made a lot, but have also missed a lot in the clutch
 
I can not believe refs called a foul on MSU with literally no time on the clock. If im izzo im getting ejected immediately.
 
Illinois big man with the hardware on his face swatted a shot out of bounds, beyond a wide open Illini player...And then the inbound play MSU hits a big shot.

I seem to recall Emeka having the awareness to block a shot to his teammate rather than risk it going out of bounds like that. Not saying he only did that, but yeah, he would've swatted it to his teammate in that situation.

Who is Jake Davis? Big rebound and FT to send Illinois to OT. Illinois and Duke losses helps UConn’s cause
 
Overtime Michigan St vs Illinois.

#3 us - UConn loses
#4 Duke loses (heh heh heh)
#5 Illinois????

Between this and the skirt remark you’re really making a name for yourself today
