How is your alma mater doing in the NCAA basketball world right now? Mine, Murray State, is in the top 25 with a 26-4 record. I also attended the University of Kentucky for three years in pursuit of a Biology degree. The Wildcats are 30-0.

How is yours doing?

I went to Kentucky as well, and they will finish the regular season at 31-0 after beating Florida today!!

Ok, I never went there. :( Never even been to Kentucky! But somehow I've been a fan since I was a little kid. I have no idea, don't ask. But once I'm a fan of a team, I'm dedicated.

The school that I went to that ever did a damn in helping me in my career doesn't have a basketball team. Nor any other sporting team. They only have vending machines.

Olivia is Florida State. She had a couple of years of bragging rights. Dangit, the only team to stop the SEC train!

Didn't they just separate the weirdos and geeks away from the Golden Bears?

I hate the SEC and I hate Florida State (and Florida too for that fact). :)

Kentucky overcomes the thuggish behavior by America's armpit city team, the University of Cincinnati, to become the first team to start a season 36-0. Only four more games to go for a perfect season. Final score, 64-51.

I did my internship there, nothing better for weeding out the weak and the slow witted.
So unlike certain universities that now teach to be weak and slow witted!
The very REAL School of Hard Knocks will make or break ya!

SEC is different for football and basketball!! While I'm a HUGE Kentucky fan for the basketball side - no way I'm an SEC fan when damn Alabama is playing football!!!

As long as you support the basketball Wildcats, you're okay with me!

Helluva game! I thought they would have done much better, but ND came to play. Now onto an even tougher Wisconsin team. 2 more to the treasured 40-0!!

I am SO angry today. WTF????? Don't get me wrong, going 38-1 sure ain't nothing to sneeze at, but will barely be remembered without the title. :(

Yep. Kentucky got out-played and out-coached. Congratulations to Wisconsin. I hope they beat Duke.

Last night was apparently quite a raucous time in my sister-in-law's home in Edina. Her older daughter and daughter's boyfriend, both headed off to Wisconsin this fall, quite enjoyed the basketball game. Being band members (trombone and flute), I am guessing that there were several spirited almost-renditions of "On Wisconsin" during the night.

I watched baseball, thank you.

I'm not a sports fan. There doesn't seem to be much news about college chess championships, so I'm out of the loop.
