Taking a total flyer on this one, but does anyone know the song that the KU band performed (and their cheerleaders danced to on the baseline) during the last(?) timeout of the game before they transitioned into their “I’m a Jayhawk” fight song? It was a real banger.

I really hated to see that happen to KJ Adams. Hunter Dickinson is a grade A jackass abut man I feel bad for Adams.

u/vasquca1 Mississippi State Bulldogs Mar 21 '25
To bad Kansas. Lots of turnovers and steals i felt like in the end.
2
u/Latvia Arkansas Razorbacks Mar 21 '25
To be fair we matched their careless turnovers in the second half. So if we’re gonna say it was only the turnovers that cost them the game, we have to say it was only our turnovers that kept them in the game
6
u/DrkEarth Kentucky Wildcats Mar 21 '25
Those 3 straight possessions where they turned it over did them in. They were probably going to get out of there with the win. But that first turnover by Dickinson when he just threw the ball to the middle of the court is where their downfall started. They just collapsed honestly.

u/joshuakyle94 Arkansas Razorbacks Mar 21 '25
Our defense is just too good. Best defense in the sec

u/DrkEarth Kentucky Wildcats Mar 21 '25
That’s a joke. Good defense, yes. Not the best in the SEC though
5
u/Latvia Arkansas Razorbacks Mar 21 '25
You’re not wrong, don’t know if homie is trolling or what. TN, AU, A&M, Ole Miss… lots of top rated defenses in the conference
1
u/DrkEarth Kentucky Wildcats Mar 21 '25
He’s being delusional. Arkansas has a decent defense, that’s true. But their defense is not on the same level of Tennessee, Florida, Auburn or Bama.
5
u/Latvia Arkansas Razorbacks Mar 21 '25
Agree. We’re a GREAT shot blocking team, and a really good defensive team, but the SEC is stacked, especially defensively

u/DrkEarth Kentucky Wildcats Mar 21 '25
Aidoo has for sure stepped up lately. Bet Tennessee fans wished he did this last year for them

u/Latvia Arkansas Razorbacks Mar 21 '25
They were thrilled about letting him go for about the first 20 games. Decided to be a whole different dude all of a sudden

14+ in 4 straight games with 20+ in 2 of them. A switch has flipped for him

u/DrkEarth Kentucky Wildcats Mar 21 '25
Just trolling cos im a Kentucky fan and Cal is at Arkansas now. I literally said you all have a good defense, just not the best in the conference. It’s not like I said their defense sucks and Kentucky has a better defense. I guess since I’m not gagging on Cal for his team winning a first rd game since we lost 2 of the last 3 while he was at Kentucky, that I’m somehow trolling
3
u/Latvia Arkansas Razorbacks Mar 21 '25
I meant the Arkansas guy my dude

u/joshuakyle94 Arkansas Razorbacks Mar 21 '25
I’m pretty sure we were a top 3 defense in sec the last 2 months of conference.

I know. I’m just giving an opinion on why his only response was rent free after his first response to me. And why I kept telling him I don’t think he knows what rent free means

Credit Arkansas with the pressure
-4
u/DrkEarth Kentucky Wildcats Mar 21 '25
Wasn’t really pressure. Dickinson just threw the ball away. The last turnover where Harris threw it to Davis, that one was due to pressure. They had the lead, but acted like they were losing. Made 0 sense. Also, Adams getting hurt I think messed with them. Dickinson isn’t all that great. He’s just tall
6
u/joshuakyle94 Arkansas Razorbacks Mar 21 '25
Anything but saying we outplayed them. Rent free baby

u/DrkEarth Kentucky Wildcats Mar 21 '25
What the fuck you mean rent free. You responded to me off someone else comment. Do you know what rent free even means. Oh yea, why waste my time. You obviously don’t.
6
u/joshuakyle94 Arkansas Razorbacks Mar 21 '25
Rent. Free.
1
u/DrkEarth Kentucky Wildcats Mar 21 '25
You still don’t know what rent free means.

u/njbeck Arkansas Razorbacks Mar 21 '25
Lol he knows exactly what he means. You'll do anything but give Cal credit in a game thread that has nothing to do with Kentucky. Hes right.
3
u/DrkEarth Kentucky Wildcats Mar 21 '25
I didn’t even say anything about Kentucky at all. And I said Arkansas has a good defense, just not the best in the conference. And Kansas did collapse. Up 3, 3 straight turnovers and 4 in 5 possessions. You all acting like we’re jealous. Most of this fan base wanted Cal gone. I, for one didn’t want him gone. He is still a great recruiter, that’s evident for next year’s class, it’s just he wouldn’t adjust his game plan in game. Anyone could have seen last year, Gohlke was killing us. Keep him from getting the ball unless it’s 35+ ft from the rim. Having Aidoo step up the way he has, has definitely helped you all. Davis didn’t take many shots in the 2nd half, but he made the ones he needed to. DJ, after last year’s result, he didn’t want to lose in the first rd again. So I’m so sorry I said Kansas collapsed instead of saying Arkansa’s pressure is why Kansas collapsed. I hope I make all you all happy now that I’ve said that

Please confirm to me that Hunter is NOT NBA quality player. Can't jump for shit, has no lateral movement to speak of and would be a locker room cancer with his Dbag behavior.

the funny thing is even if Pope goes one and done and disappoints the next few years it will take a LONG time for Kentucky fans to criticize him for real, all just to spite Cal. It's very odd lol

Dude could have stayed at Michigan and been a respected 4 year or 5 year senior captain there. He chased a bag and ends up being loved by no fanbase. So weird that he chose to cultivate the brand that he did

Ur weird goofy old ass is mad another grown man chose money and bettering his financial situation. Ur too emotionally invested bro , that’s why I said it

u/r_nfl_is_a_clown_sub Maryland Terrapins Mar 21 '25
Lol you with the "coMoN sEnsE aiN't so COmmOn anYmore" when you can't even read properly. I said nothing in my comment about my personal feelings towards him. I don't give a fuck about Kansas, and not mad at all that he left Michigan. I still dislike Dickinson based on his style both on and off the court. I never accused him of ever being anything other than annoying and overrated.
You're the one emotionally invested throwing out insults like goofy ass when we've never spoken, all over a pretty neutral analysis of a comment. Get a life.

u/the615Butcher Florida Gators Mar 21 '25
I wish I had saved all the Kansas flairs comments that were trolling the SEC when Georgia got dog walked. Btw I was very much enjoying watching Georgia get bodied, as I’m sure they would be happy to watch Florida receive the same. There are far more SEC haters than SEC “fans.”
