5 Hashtags Every UK Student Should Know Before March Madness

LEXINGTON, Ky. (March 2, 2020) — It’s time for the madness to begin. March Madness — the annual NCAA college basketball tournament — begins on Selection Sunday, March 15, 2020. Here’s how to sound like a true University of Kentucky fan on your social media.

  • #TGT – When making any social media posts during March Madness, make sure to use #TGT — meaning the greatest tradition. As eight-time NCAA champions, and the winningest program in college basketball we have the right to brag about our program.
  • #WeAreUK – Make sure to also use #WeAreUK when posting on social during March Madness. As the greatest tradition in college basketball, we want everyone to know who we are.
  • #BBN – Label yourself as part of the Big Blue Nation — a crazy fan base that supports everything UK.
  • #CatsBy90 – This phrase is used mostly in UK athletics. This obviously doesn’t mean that the basketball team won by 90 points, but when they do win, students and fans like to think it was by 90 even if it was by one.
  • #MarchMadness – Follow the official hashtag of March Madness to stay up to date and cheer on your cats!
