They didn't have to go undefeated, but with that collection of talent it was championship or bust.

They didn't win the championship so...

Yeah it was championship or bust, still a great season regardless. I can only dream about Mizzou having a season comparable.

38-1.

That's hard to do regardless of talent.


Congratulations UK

It always is to UK fans.

As a MIzzou fan, though, I doubt you understand what it's like.

congrats on choking like a three dollar whore when it mattered. I expect NBA type teams to roll everyone and win a title

No it isn't. Not realistically anyway. It truly was this year and everyone knows it.

It's a Final Four season. A banner still gets hung for that in Rupp.

When was the last time Mizzou hung a Final Four banner?

We started the season 0-1. To UMKC. And it wasn't close. These Cats won 38 games before they lost one. And it took Wisconsin's best game of the year to beat them.

It took a 1 seed's best game of the year to beat them.

I hope we make a Final Four before I die.

Wisconsin's best game was probably their second half blistering of Arizona last weekend.

I won't argue as I didn't see that game. I saw them play a half dozen times, and this was the best I saw them play.

They had the best team money could buy and still flopped. Will the players have to return the money since they shite the bed??

They won 38 straight games. That's absolutely incredible. Russilo was talking about this earlier this week and I agree. Regardless of if they win it or not, it's been an incredible season. It's bullshite that people will only determine if it's great or not if they win it all.

So do I, but I wasn't talking about Mizzou.

UK has been to plenty of final fours. They had, by far, the most talented team in the nation and they came up short.

Championship or bust is exactly that. Bust

Yeah well tough shite. Lsu had a really good football team in 2011, but the only thing they're remembered for is 21-0. This Kentucky team will be remembered as the one that lost to Wisconsin in the final 4.

And that's why sports message boards are ridiculous.

Only an idiot would write off a historic 38 win season and a Final Four. Because only an idiot wouldn't understand how hard it is to win 6 in a row in a tournament format. Just ask UNLV, Duke, UNC, Michigan with the Fab Five, and a slew of others.

But yes, THIS team will never get mentioned again I'm sure.
