Would you rather:

- Beat UK in the 2nd round to get to the Sweet 16 and lose in the Sweet 16 (Would it make a difference if it was a blowout or a close game in the Sweet 16)

- Make the Final Four

Normally I would say the Final Four, but the UK fans are even more unbearable if that is possible and I'd love to stick a fork in the supposed greatest UK team of all time whose goal has been an undefeated season since before the season began.

I think it could be argued that beating UK would get UC more pub than making the final four.

Final four. You don't hang a banner after beating UK.

Beating UK...this year, especially, it would carry more weight. OTOH, give me a national championship over any single win, regardless of the opponent or circumstances.

First of all, we can't beat a bad UConn team ( or ECU or Tulane), so..... If some warp in the space time continuum occurred that we beat UK in the second round, it wouldn't be about us. It would be about UK losing. Especially if we lost the next game.

Add to that, beat OSU in the first round. Beat UK in the second round.

I'd take that even it meant losing by 100 in the sweet sixteen over making the final four.

Final Four

I would have to go with the option of ruining all of the blue necks season. The hard thing is whoever beats them is going to have to beat the zebras as well. The NCAA (National Cheating Athletics Association), CBS (Cheating Broadcasting Station), and ESPiN have way too much invested in needing UsucK being in the final 4. Could you imagine the publicity if we knocked them off. It would bring more attention long term than going to the final 4.

Good god now people are blaming refs and coming up with conspiracy theories for hypothetical games. This is getting crazy.

Final Fours last forever.

Beat them to get into the Final Four.

I'd rather win on Thursday or Friday. Don't care against whom.

Final Four, without question. To say, "I want to beat UK" sounds way too "little-brother" to me.

Final Four. I aspire to more than being a David to Goliath.

Normally I'd agree, but this year, that seems to be everyone's motto.

Final four people remember and talk about outside of UC world. We beat Duke that year in Alaska and who besides us cares. UC got back on the map with final four under Huggins.

watching uk/ark

i hate uk

i may change my vote and vote yes to beating them in the second round as an 8/9 vs going to the final four (this year in particular)

UAB pulled off a pretty big upset of UK in 2003. Maybe someone else will this year
