2024-25 Basketball,,, all things considered...

Condon's injury looks serious.

I missed the first 5 minutes of the game. It was the perfect opportunity to get ambushed on the road. Any team can beat anybody in this league when playing at home. Toughed out the first half and then went brawling the first 5 minutes the second half. That was a great win on the road. Hopefully everyone is healthy for the home stretch into March Madness.

Broome missed a lot of chippies, but some of that was frustration at how Condon was holding his game down. He did score a good bit down the stretch but by then the game was pretty much out of reach. Condon is fairly new at basketball, too, and seems to be getting better and better with each game experience. Impressive guy. Haugh as well.

We were the first team to single up Broome and take away all his pick and rolls that he thrives on..

You gotta give Todd Golden credit man.. He's doing an elite job of coaching this team, we got very fortunate he's turned out to be so good at what he does..

Tonight's win was equally as impressive as ambushing Auburn, this was the epitome of a let down spot against another ranked team in this conference on the road.. 30 seconds in you're down 2 starters now, and then it looked like none of that ever mattered with the D adjustments Todd made in the 2nd half to go on a crazy 17-0 run like that.. This team deserves a Final Four run, they really do play like A Billy D team, in particular our last Final Four team from ten years ago.. No great NBA players, just depth and team ball with good guards and post players that play their nuts off and crash the glass and know their role. It would really be a shame if they can't stay healthy to get what they deserve. I really think us and Bama are the two most complete and dangerous teams in a one off tournament.

I mean of all the great teams Billy had over the years, that's the first time we've ever won two consecutive road games against ranked teams.. When the SEC is at it's best too

Incredible coaching job by Golden making the halftime adjustments to get the defensive pressure ramped up to start the 2nd half. Haugh & Aberdeen were excellent. However, long term I don't think we're a serious contender without Alex Condon. He's simply irreplaceable to this team. Hope his injury is just short term.

It reminds me of 2017. The gators were rolling at Auburn and Egbunu goes down. We finished the blowout and the team made a deep run (elite 8). I believe that team might have won It all. Very similar to this team. Remember Canyon Barry coming off the bench? John Egbunu however never was able to get back on the court.

Condon is out 10-14 days. Golden said he thought the play against Condon was dirty basketball. That’s why he went off. He said it again after the game.

Martin has a hip pointer and my guess is that he'll play Saturday night. EVERY SEC game is a challenge. Our next game is against South Carolina, who outplayed us in their gym a few weeks ago. We were very fortunate to come from behind late and pull out a win. Their strength is their frontcourt and without Condon, it's going to be a real challenge. Take no game for granted, my friend.

We just trashed two ranked teams on the road without our two starters in the toughest conference in the nation.

Once Klavzar gets his defense figured out, he could be the closest thing to being Lee Humphrey.

That is a crazy stat Billy never won consecutive road games against ranked teams in the SEC but a big part of that I guess would be only a few ranked teams in the SEC those championship years.

I guess KY does have TNs number this year but any team that can score like us can beat KY if you rough them up. Hoping we catch them in the SEC tourney or in the Elite 8 or Final Four for a rematch.

I believe UK is in the tourney, however, the fans at Rupp's Rafters are having some meltdowns over the possibility of not getting in.

Some really think that? Any 8 - 10 or better SEC conference record team will be in the tourney.

Kentucky is a lock for the NCAA tournament. The SEC is going to get 10-11 teams in.
