^Just looked it up. I was confused because Duhon and Dunleavy were on the same team. UK and Duke played in 2001 and that is the only time since 1998.

Duke was #1 and UK was #7. Duke won 95-92.

[zaga_fan]

That was the game where Coach K benched all of the starters for a few minutes and they came back.

We should have won that game...

There are High School teams with tougher schedules.....

Scott County, Bullitt East, Montgomery County, Lexington Catholic, Tates Creek, Bowling Green and many more KY high school teams play harder schedules.

Oak Hill, Findlay Prep, Bishop Gorman among others out of state high school team's play harder schedules

NO, you're just posting silly foolishness that YOU know isn't remotely true.

That's wrong. That schedule isn't hard at all besides Notre Dame, Duke, Maryland, Louisville and Baylor. The only thing this soft schedule provides is money for the small schools that have to come to Rupp.

If you think this is a hard schedule, do you see anyone else on here besides your self, agreeing with you? No you don't!


This schedule is a JOKE! Plain and Simple!

If you want to debate, then by all means, go for it.

But when you feel compelled to say crap like that just turn your computer off and listen to classical music for a while or something.

StrikeoutKing, although I rarely agree with anything he says, has devoted a lot of time to this site and he contributes more on a daily basis than most users do in months.

Your attacks on the moderators are silly and childish.

Actually from what I've observed on here, what's childish and silly
are the moderators (yourself excluded). And I'm not sure exactly what
insisting that those high school teams have harder schedules is is
"FACT" is "contributing" to anything. I haven't attacked moderators, I have
only attacked "childish silliness" by moderators.

This schedule is a JOKE! Plain and Simple!

First and foremost you have been posting that several high school
teams have tougher schedules than UK, and that Scott Co. for
example could beat Morehead. THAT is the silly foolishness.
And you KNOW it is, or else you are brain dead.

Also I never said it was a hard schedule. I even said it wasn't
as difficult as most UK schedules, but is NOT weak by comparison
to the average top program's schedule, WHICH IT IS NOT. You
want weak? Check out a typical Syracuse non-con sched.

You are unhappy because UK isn't playing a top name team in Rupp.

[Strikeout King]

SK, you are posting at too many cross purposes here. First of all
UK fans as a whole are never satisfied, I count myself among them.
And that is what MAKES UK the BEST fan base in the nation,
and helps UK be the top program in the nations. Sure
we're all happy, that UK won the title, and WILL be happy
if they win this one. Bbut who hasn't thought to themselves
more than once since March"that b.s. Watford shot, we should
have been 39-1."?

Secondly, you began this debate by calling it a "weak" schedule.
And THAT is the point here. It's NOT a weak schedule. You are
absolutely right that season ticket holders are disatisfied, and
I feel RIGHTFULLY so. The Rupp Arena slate is NOT very
appetizing. And with big ticket price increases, fans are
justified in feeling shortchanged. That has NOTHING to do
with the overall strength of the schedule.

So you're trying to disagree with things that AREN'T being said.
Most everyone, me included is AGREEING with you about the
poor quality of games in Rupp, but we're disagreeing that
overall it's weak, because IT'S NOT.

Notre Dame at ND isn't a tough game?

And thus you prove 2 points of my points. First that UK fans are
never satisfied. Second that being a moderator on this forum
is often an indictment of ignorance.

Pick out any other top program in the nation and if there non-con
schedule has 4 tougher opponents than Duke, Maryland, U of L and ND,
and you will find it's the hardest schedule they faced in probably 20 years.

Complain if you want, but year in and year out UK's non-con
schedule contains more name opponents, and tough neutral
court games than any other in the NCAA save U of L. And if
this year's slate is a little off that, it's an anamoly.

Go read the bold. Your now saying that you say it's not a hard schedule but if you re-read the bold you will clearly see that you said that it's one of the hardest schedule in 20 years which is ridiculous. Most powerhouse high school teams in KY and across the nation would give these smaller schools a run for their money, like it or not it's not a hard schedule the only thing it helps out is the small schools cause they get a but load of money for coming in here.

Secondly you are right and wrong with the last part. Your wrong about me being un-happy, however I do wish he would start scheduling top ranked teams. Maybe get a series going with Duke, Baylor, Kansas, Texas, UCONN and maybe couple others. People say it's because of the young team we have but we're gonna have that each year with the one and done

If you will reread a little more carefully, you will see that the "in 20 years comment" was not directed at UK's schedule, but at the OTHER school's
schedules.

AND, so instead of us playing playinf Duke or Baylor, you'd rather see
us get a series with Duker or Baylor. YEP, that makes sense.

Your looney. First you say it's not a weak schedule now your saying it's a hard schedule. Make up your mind already.

I can't make sense out of the bottom. If we got a home and home series started with Duke and/or Baylor we would be playing them.

As far as complaining about this season;s sched, you DO realize don't
you that this is an ANAMOLY? While I don't agree that it is "weak"
I do agree it isn't up to typical UK standard, and I don't foresee
it becoming the norm? And part of it comes from IU's refusal to
cooperate on a series(that wouldn't have amde any diff to the
home portion)

As for the h.s. points, it's just absurd to continue beating that dead
horse. Sadly it's hard to even make a case that Ky. even has
powerhouse h.s. teams any more, let alone one that could
make a run at a D-1 college team. Our Mr. basketball Deu???ne
from our state champ is going to such a no-name team, and
he will be lucky to play much for them this year. This isn't the
forum for it, but our h.s basketball has fallen off horribly over
the last decade.

Are you feeble minded? Do you understand there's a point
IN BETWEEN hard and weak? And can you not understand that
"compared to the AVERAGE top D-1 program" is different
from "compared to UK's ONW best schedules?

YOU are the one who can't seem to grasp what YOU are saying,
let alone what point I'm making. So here goes one last attempt.

This year's UK non-con schedule, is RUN OF THE MILL, MEDIOCRE, but
not "WEAK", when compared to most UK schedules.

This year's UK non-con sched is FAR FROM "weak" when compared
to the typcial non-con scheds of other D-1 powers (KU, Cuse
UNC etc.

Can't make it any simpler for you, though I'm beginning to suspect it
CAN'T be MADE simple enough for you.

[Strikeout King]

Your crazy if you think Lafayette, Long Island, Portland, Libscomb, Marshall and Eastern Michigan are not weak.

As for the high school points, don't Scott County, Lexington Catholic, Montgomery County and others go out of state just about each year and play top teams across the nation, well maybe not Montgomery County but the other's do. In fact both Lexington Catholic and Mason County went to Hawaii a few years back. Bishop Gorman, Oak Hill among other Nation Powerhouse High Schools go everywhere to play Top Ranked High School teams, those teams would give Lafayette College, Eastern Michigan, Marshall, Long Island, Portland, Libscomb a run for their money!

Just stating the truth.....ask anyone and they will tell you the same thing....ask ticket holders or other UK fans and see what they tell you....


Duke hasn't released there non conference schedule like a lot of other schools.

Kansas has but Kentucky's non conference is better than what Kansas plays but it's still weak.

Any UK fan or ticket holder can say what they like
it WON'T make it true, or square it with reality.
Being happy or unhappy about the schedule is
personal and subjective. But an objective comparison
of the schedule shows what I maintain. UK fans
should be happy the Jim Boeheim doesn't do our scheduling.

You are a certified idiot. First of all no one COULD agree with me that's it's a hard schedule, because I NEVER said it was a hard schedule. I said it wasn't weak. Next I NEVER said ANY school was a powerhouse, YOU made the claim that Ky. has powerhouse teams. (And a for your information Lafayette is one of the state's LARGER high schools). It became apparent quite some posts ago, that you can't comprehend what I keep writing. But unless someone has hijacked your login, now you can't even

DUDE, you DESPERATELY need a remedial course in writing. You
can't keep your trains of thought straight. The first mention of
"POWERHOUSES" came from YOU, and it was directed at HIGH
SCHOOL teams. My repy about "powerhouses" was also directed
at HIGH SCHOOL teams. So NOW I'm supposed to realize
that you NOW mean Lafayette College?

And NO the freaking schedule is NOT weak. If you're too stupid
to see that compared to D-1 schedules it's well above average
for non-conference competition. And if the ENTIRE remaining
population of this forum is too stupid to see it, that's THEIR
problem not mine.

[Strikeout King]

I said Powerhouse High School teams could be those small college teams that UK is playing. There was nothing mentioned about Lafayette High School in Lexington it's Lafayette College (PA)

If you think that Lafayette College, Long Island, Samford, Portland, Libscomb, Marshall and Eastern Michigan can roll with the Big D1 Schools like Duke, UK, Florida, etc. etc. then I'd like to know what kind of kool-aid your drinking
