This is the kinda games I love. Road game with what should be a hostile environment. Gonna be tough for UK if we don’t have Toppin and Washington but I still think we have a chance. Who you got?
Kentucky at Tennessee

I think the Cats will win but they best come loaded for East Tennessee bear.
I figured UK with four SEC loses. This was an L until two weeks ago. Now a narrow W.

When y'all lose players to injury are they the only ones that count? UT lost it's best forward for the season which was already going to be a mismatch. I am unsure how we can even stay close to y'all on the glass. Regardless, I have been looking forward to the game and still am.
It is because I am the Orange light that shines brightly when all others fade into the gloom.😁
The psychological aspect of the game is huge. Tennessee is going to want it more. Hostile environment, injuries, plus a little home cookin'....going with Tennessee.
Y'all would have beaten Golden state in our first game. Mismatch in y'all's favor and losing our forward only exacerbates the problem. So, we will just have to see.
I wish this game were at 6:00 instead of 9:00. I will either be too exited or too pissed off to go to bed. 😜
Uh, what? I haven't said any games don't count? I listed facts that two of our guys, one our best guard, will not be playing today and I don't expect to win. Where did I say the game won't count? Or did you just make that up?
C'mon, comprehend better. I'm saying your loss of players and ours will effect the game.
I didn't say anything about games counting.
Well yea, obviously both injuries count. But you're playing at home and are minus one guy compared to two. I think it will be a hard fought game but Tennessee probably wins.
Well, Cal has y'all playing at a high level in the second half of the season and no lead is safe for UT as we are known to freeze up periodically for unexplainable reasons. So, who knows.
TBA will be jacked tonight, and I am not counting out the motivation factor for Tennessee after getting embarrassed the previous match.
Yep, that was a tough loss for you guys. I hate seeing any team losing a player. But you should have us with guard play and we will probably dominate the paint. Ware will substitue for Toppin and he's becoming a beast down low. Heck Hopkins and Collins both may see some minutes. You guys are a 1 point favorite.
Should be a really good game!
It sucks for me, but I have always considered you an immortal and never needing sleep.
Let's not build a premade excuse for just in case. Uk could dominate the boards and win without him.
ESPN knows the homer court as they have UK only a 43.9% chance of winning at Knoxville.
I have watched Kentucky basketball for 65 years and you are going to get screwed, blued and tattooed in Knoxville more often than any place and that is saying a lot when you consider Gainesville, Baton Rouge, College Station, Starkville, Nashville, Columbia, Tuscaloosa, Athens et.al.
I remember when the refs gave UT credit for a 12-foot free throw for Alan Houston. UT won by one and then in the first SEC Tourney game Pitino turned the horses loose and UK rips UT a new ass hole and won by 101-40. Pitino left the starters in simply to earn a little pay back. Cheating pays short term gain, but long term it is bad stuff.
Kentucky made the final four that year, but they were cheated out of a game in Knoxville. They paid the price later.
We don't even want to get into the Bernie/Earnie crap that happened.

Poor Kentucky. Everyone is out to get them. It’s just so hard out for Kentucky.
Posts like these are why I gave you so much hell you felt the need to place me on ignore. There is no more of a partial calls in favor of the home team than Rupp. The year we went to Rupp and got mugged in the first half with no calls and then came out playing more physical in the second and our whole team fouled out. It is hypocritical for any UK fan to cry about home cooking.
You're great at dishing it out, but skedaddle when things aren't going your way.
I think we'll see CJ Fredrick tonight (going around w/o a boot) before we see Tyty.
Has been for decades. However, you would not know that as you started following basketball this year.
GEEZE.
