- Kentucky head coach John Calipari is a former Kansas assistant so he knows The Phog well. He described Allen Fieldhouse before Kentucky plays Kansas in the Big 12/SEC Challenge.
I get goosebumps every time is walk in AFH. It really is a special place. So much history. No frills. Incredibly loud. Great, high basketball IQ fans who respect the game. No better place to watch a college basketball game. Yes, of course I'm biased. I grew up just a few miles from there. Too bad the home team didn't show up...... Whew! What a beatdown from start to finish. UK brought their A game. KU looked like they partied all night prior to the game. Good game Kentucky fans! Wish we could have given you and the fans their money's worth. Given the end result of the season, I'll take it as a turning point/wake up call game.
well said Mike - would've liked to avoid the embarrassment on our home floor, but what a way to end up the season!!
He’s not wrong. It’s loud like you cannot believe. Best atmosphere in all of College basketball.
All of sports
All sports. No more YANKEE stadium, no more Boston Garden. The only venues comparable are Wrigley and Fenway.
Allen Fieldhouse and Anfield (Liverpool’s stadium)
@@Jakubooooooooooboth loudest in the Midwest. KU, chiefs and now royals with Bobby Witt jr
That's right....... Pure hoop........ Don't ever change it ku
I love Allen Fieldhouse, I went to every game I could as a student.
I went to only a couple while going there and it’s one of my biggest regrets. Was at the game where we broke the world record but just always so hard to get in.
Truly amazing a program like KU hasn't bowed to the financial pressure to change the stadium.
they are leaving millions on the table to pay homage to the history
Rock Chalk Jayhawks!! Allen Field House ❤️💙 No other place like it!!!
Really awesome comments by Coach Cal. I know he and Self admire one another a lot. It's crazy, they both won a National Championship against each other. BBN really wiped the floor with us. Your bigs (especially Tshiebwe) are just a terrible matchup for us this year. I remember his 2020 season and as a FRESHMAN at WVU, he was the only guy who could guard Udoka Azubuike at all. And your guards are the best in America yet again. I love the way he describes the Phog. But Rupp is a BEAUTIFUL arena. I've been to a lot of historic places, but not to a Kentucky home game. Maybe I'll make the trek next time Kansas goes to Rupp...and here's to hoping we can give you a challenge next time! Good luck on the rest of your season!
Rupp is great for big games but the PHOG is by far the toughest place to play. At Rupp our students are behind one basket. The rest of the lower arena are known as blue hairs. Basically rich old people. You guys have students everywhere and the sound is insane. Congrats on the title. Injuries doomed us.
@@26michaeluk Cheers! Thanks for the congrats! Agreed, it's better to prioritize students behind both baskets and close to the floor. I still need to visit Rupp. I love the way your banners are designed, with the "NCAA Champions/Final Four" banners having cascading lettering. Very cool!
@Wilt Chamberlain is the GOAT yeah Kansas has had plenty of bad luck too in that regard.
i think he and self overlapped as grad assistants if i'm not mistaken
Been to several games there. It can get deafening loud in there. Especially when KU goes on a run in and takes the lead. The whole place shook.
Almost does it justice.
Damn, Coach Cal provided an incredible description of the place. I went to KU but only ever attended a game in the Fieldhouse when I was still in HS.
That building is historical I know just the feeling he's talking about THE PHOG is what I call her n I've had the pleasure of experiencing that a few times that Arena will have u forgetting anything else outside of it doesn't exist at that moment not to many opponents can deal with that type energy that's why we rarely n barely lose n that Arena I've been a fan of the JAYHAWKS since I was 9 years old now n my late 40's n I am a KU FANATIC..THIS IS WHERE IT ALL STARTED AND THIS IS WHY WE HAVE MORE WINS THAN ANY OTHER ALUMNI N COLLEGE WE DEFEND ALLEN FIELDHOUSE WIT PRIDE..n salute to Coach for telling the GOD HONEST TRUTH about that backyard it trembles n that Arena that's why whenever a team gets the best of us n there they feel like they won the tournament because of how hard it is to accomplish that to which is rarely do we lose n that Arena I feel like this about my JAYHAWKS if BILL SELF is showing u interest u should be very interested..now ROCK CHALK 😊
The best venue in all of college basketball, hands down.
Best of the best, KU and UK, Rock Chalk!!!!!!
The bluest of the bluebloods are these two programs. (KU, UK)
Best home court advantage in all of college bball. And that is a fact. Under Self they record is crazy
In my books . It one of the 3 greatest sports venue's in all of sports. Wrigley and Fenway are the other 2. Money has bought our the rest
He said off the ceiling lol... Making fun of Rick P 😂
KU alum
Respect to Callipari for telling the truth about the PHOG.
It really is the best venue in sports.
Rupp was great. To bad UK sold out to chase the money
0:58 Calipari wanted to say it’s like Rupp is but way better lol
🗣️PHOGGGGGG KKKKKKUUUUUUUUU‼️
Rock chalk

Describe how it feels to put two programs on probation. Describe why you do not care about winning or winning championships.
We just smoked Kansas at the Phog and are a legit title contender. We'd have done the Same at Auburn and LSU had we not lost our starting backcourt both games. Oh and since he's been at Kentucky he's won more games, more tournament games and been to more final fours than any other coach. UMass welcomed him back and Memphis did until their fans started crying.
What a disgustingly disingenuous thing to say. Literally, every year, he gets a whole new group of guys (through no fault of his own) and has to rebuild them and their chemistry every year for an NCAA Tournament run. He leaves it up to the players to do what they want with their lives, whether to stay or leave, and if you see that as a problem, then that’s a testament to your character. Why wouldn’t he recruit the best players he can get? How ungrateful.
“Calipari has coached Kentucky to four Final Fours, in 2011, 2012, 2014 and 2015. He also led UMass and Memphis to the Final Four in 1996 and 2008 respectively; those appearances were later vacated, though Calipari was cleared of wrongdoing in both cases.[2] As a college coach, Calipari has twenty-six 20-win seasons, eleven 30-win seasons, and five 35-win seasons.
As of January 29th, 2022, with 759 official wins, Calipari ranks 17th on the NCAA Division I all-time winningest coaches list.”
As a Kansas fan...and after BBN just HUMILIATED US...please don't think all KU fans are like this. My goodness, what a horrible comment. Calipari is a Hall of Famer, and as a poster commented above...he deals with more roster turnover than ANYONE in the country. Physical Education teachers don't deal with with as much. The way he whips them into shape by late Feb and March is nothing less than astounding. You guys played fantastic! Here's hoping that we can give you some competition next time! Good luck the rest of the season.
-Signed,
A guy who bleeds KANSAS blue.
@@ThatFaceMelter94 Please don't think all Kansas fans are like this guy. If he even is a Kansas fan...Coach Cal doesn't need to prove his coaching mettle. I hope my Jayhawks can give you guys a better contest next time! Cheers, you got a team that really can win it all!
Its a piece of crap
A lot of white people screaming
And a lot of black people playing.
Bruh what?
Allen Fieldhouse is above all- brotherly. Of all creed's...
Idiotic comment... smh
