Kentucky went out in style. Specifically, its trademark style this season. The Cats competed hard and seemingly exhausted their resources in an effort to win. But Marquette won 74-68 on Thursday to snap UK’s winning streak of 17 first-round victories in the NCAA Tournament.

I’m heartbroken they lost…These guys were really something. I hope Lexington welcomes these guys back with a huge shower of respect. They fought hard, we just didn’t have enough horses in the end.
Great job guys…Great job Billy G…
At the first of the season I was down on the players. I knew they had more talent than they were giving. When SEC play started it was like a different team out there. The Pride of Kentucky came back. Billy G believed, The Players believed, and the Fans Believed. We are KENTUCKY. To Joe and Ramal, you are now part of our history and tradition. Your stamina and ability will take you far. Best of all you are a charter member of the BIG BLUE NATION.
We are “THE KENTUCKY WILDCATS”, the winningest college basketball program. We have a love for our team like no other. I will miss the smiling faces of Bradley and Crawford next year and hope they have instilled what hard work can and will do to the rest of team that is left to pick up the pieces and carry on the tradition. I am counting down the days until “Midnight Madness”. Good Luck to Bradley and Crawford, you have made us proud!
To Joe & Ramal,, GUYS I am so proud of you and will miss you next year, but go with God, and all the success you deserve,,, To rest of team—– GOOD JOB
KENTUCKY WILDCATS,, MY TEAM, WIN OR LOOSE, YOU ARE THE GREATEST..
BILLY G. YOU ARE OK ALSO…….
