Kentucky Players Respond to West Virginia's Trash Talk After Destroying Mountaineers

Prior to Thursday night's game there was a lot of talk coming from West Virginia players about how they were going to beat Kentucky and put an end to their run. In typical Wildcat fashion they didn't really bother with responding to the trash talk, but waited till they stepped on the court to respond--and respond they did.

West Virginia was never in this game. It looked more like a No. 1 seed playing a No. 16 seed rather than a No. 5. Afterwards a couple of the Kentucky players had something to say about the pregame trash talk.

According to Tyler Ulis embarrassing the Mountaineers was a goal:

"Our whole plan was to crush their spirit. Beat em by 50 for disrespecting us" --- Tyler Ulis

Devin Booker's tweet said it best though:

36 and won

West Virginia knew what it was getting in to with Kentucky. When you are playing the best team in the nation you have to do whatever you can to try and get an edge. If that means trying to manufacture confidence by talking trash than you do it.

The only problem is if you lose you better be prepared to have it thrown back in your face.
