| 1636818258937430017 | I’m just saying, if the other team got to warm up while my team watched officials do this to our basket pregame … And then the other team hit everything and mine start 0 for 8, as Iowa State has … I’d be real mad. https://t.co/Pl05CjOA60 | 145 |
| 1644846463178924040 | What a weird question. Anthony Davis won national POY, national defensive POY, Final Four MOP, set the NCAA freshman record for blocks, went 38-2, won a national title, got drafted No. 1 and then went and won an Olympic gold for good measure. https://t.co/nO0uVvYYoB | 122 |
| 1655988960760348672 | Get you a rival that turns out to be your best friend. https://t.co/nA4B0jSLte | 122 |
| 1636914202404085760 | Everyone in Kentucky's locker room said John Calipari was looser and funnier than he's ever been leading up to a game. Wanted the pressure off. Oscar Tshiebwe said before the left Lexington, Calipari grabbed him, kissed his forehead and said, "I love you, kid. Let's go do this." | 121 |
| 1663920342866317314 | If Calipari loses 2nd-round/undrafted Tshiebwe, Toppin, Livingston, Reeves to the pros and Wheeler (Washington), Collins (LSU), Fredrick (Cincinnati), Ware (Villanova) to transfer — at Kentucky, in the NIL era! … Time to take a long, hard look at player relationships/retention. | 101 |
| 1664019161222111232 | I've never seen anyone as happy to be at Kentucky as Oscar Tshiebwe was. And he played like it, hair on fire, trying like hell to be great for Kentucky. His game had holes, no doubt, but that dude absolutely emptied the tank when he put the jersey on. Tip of the cap, Oscar. | 100 |
| 1642642068395773955 | Caitlin Clark gets a tech, but not the coach who has acted like a maniac all game. It’s really something. https://t.co/dthaPMErem | 93 |
| 1599755950038355968 | Cincinnati stealing Louisville’s football coach is a classic case of both sides thinking they won the trade. Cincinnati didn’t. | 85 |
| 1652144069907283968 | De’Aaron Fox had 26 points, 11 assists, 4 rebounds, 3 steals. Malik Monk had 28 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals. Trey Lyles had 12 points, 10 rebounds, 2 steals. Kentucky Kings forced Game 7 against the Warriors. | 79 |
| 1599492298970083328 | Calipari is obviously coaching this hold it, hold it, hold it, have Wheeler pull something out of his ass approach. It's a bad approach. Even when it ends well sometimes. That's a March loser. This isn't on Wheeler. It's on Cal. | 77 |

| 1630613022057152517 | Asked Jacob Toppin and Oscar Tshiebwe today if anything could get them to use the extra year at Kentucky next season. Toppin to Oscar: “I’ll do whatever you do.” Tshiebwe: “I like playing with Jacob, so I’ll follow him.” | 1514 |

| 1645529449860042753 | Well, maybe not ANY opportunity. https://t.co/H1CA26P7vw | 1418 |
| 1655988960760348672 | Get you a rival that turns out to be your best friend. https://t.co/nA4B0jSLte | 1404 |
| 1601251263684833280 | I know that Liam Coen passed on other NFL opportunities last offseason and wanted to stay at Kentucky until McVay called him home to the Rams. Coen returning validates how much he really liked his time in Lexington. | 1385 |
| 1637579463582969858 | CJ Fredrick was the most emotional person in Kentucky’s locker room. Talked about what a long, hard five years of college basketball it’s been with all of his injuries. And how much it meant to wear the home-state UK uniform. Tearful. Said he still could but he doesn’t know yet. | 1275 |
| 1636876060175261697 | There are many things that Oscar Tshiebwe is not. But he is pretty definitively the greatest college rebounder in more than 40 years. | 1227 |
| 1632134419262652428 | If someone told you Wheeler and Wallace sat out, Fredrick and Livingston combined for three points and both Tshiebwe and Collins fouled out with five minutes to go ... could they have convinced you Kentucky won that game at Arkansas? | 1193 |
