[FONT=Arial]Friday, when I felt anxious and nervous all day long, a calm took over. After hearing “talking head” after “talking head” say [/FONT][FONT=Arial]Kentucky[/FONT][FONT=Arial] was going to lose and not even mention them as having a chance to compete, I felt reassured. This team found a way to get over the hump yet they were still being disrespected, and I knew they would come out ready to play.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]They finished the season by sealing a road victory at [/FONT][FONT=Arial]Tennessee[/FONT][FONT=Arial]. The Cats then tore through the SEC tournament playing the best basketball I had seen all season. Brandon Knight’s shot at the end of regulation versus [/FONT][FONT=Arial]Princeton[/FONT][FONT=Arial] sealed one of my best sports days of all time (Go Morehead!). [/FONT][FONT=Arial]Kentucky[/FONT][FONT=Arial] stormed back from 8 down to control the second half against [/FONT][FONT=Arial]West Virginia[/FONT][FONT=Arial]. Friday night, against ALL odds, our boys in blue took down the number one overall seed with another clutch shot by B.K.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]The Cats then had three losses to avenge: [/FONT][FONT=Arial]Arkansas[/FONT][FONT=Arial], [/FONT][FONT=Arial]North Carolina[/FONT][FONT=Arial], and UConn. Obviously, with [/FONT][FONT=Arial]Arkansas[/FONT][FONT=Arial] being null and void, the only two losses left are UNC and [/FONT][FONT=Arial]Connecticut[/FONT][FONT=Arial], which were two of the most painful losses this season.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]This has been setup perfectly, not only giving Kentucky the hardest road to the Final Four and National Championship but it also gave them the chance to avenge those that gave them big fat L’s this season. After [/FONT][FONT=Arial]Kentucky[/FONT][FONT=Arial] beat [/FONT][FONT=Arial]North Carolina[/FONT][FONT=Arial] today, for their 14[SUP]th[/SUP] trip to the Final Four and first trip in thirteen years, they have one more team to cross off of the list.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]Up next on the Revenge Tour 2011, UConn. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]Houston[/FONT][FONT=Arial], I hope your ready, because the Big Blue Nation is invading your town.[/FONT]
