Louisville @ Kentucky

[JimboBBN]

Saturday at 5:15. Rupp Arena

Kentucky starts off as a 10.5 point favorite. Thank god the premier game in college basketball is getting a time slot worthy of its glory. No 1 PM game on a weekday.

Kentucky 84
Louisville 77

Kentucky has to shoot the ball better than they have recently. Hopefully Lamont plays because Hepburn can really defend the guard spot.

Pope didn't sound overly confident in butler playing. I am sure if he is even remotely able to, he will though.

If UK has any chance in March, they need him. Losing to UL is not the end of the season.

Supposedly his dad did some interview and insinuated Butler would be back for tomorrow. We'll see though. Like lurker said, I'd rather lose one now and get him back healthy than him go out there and get really injured.

I think the bad guys probably cover by a half of a point.

78-67

 

[lurkeraspect84]

UL hasn't played a road game yet.

they have played UT, IU, WVU, Oklahoma, Ole Miss and Duke.

This isn't going to be a cake walk.

 

[Scotty00]

I’ll be at the game tomorrow. If Butler doesn’t play it could be close. When these two teams get together you can usually throw out records and rankings. I’ll say Kentucky by 8!

I can see Louisville channeling their inner Wichita and brewing up a Shocker.

 

[Scotty00]

What I’m praying to see is for Louisville to channel their inner Wichita and pull off a Shocker.

Fixed it for you!🤗

Why would you adulterate my masterpiece post?

Wichita St has never beaten UK.

Unfortunately for you, UK has a very good track record against Wichita State.

2-0

NCAA did them dirty by matching up their 34-0 team against UK in the '14 tournament. in the 2nd round.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

Two of the most heated rivalries in ball happens tomorrow.

UK vs UL

That was in the past wasn't it?

Why do y'all give a crap if I'm for UL or not? I'm aware and fine with y'all pulling against UT. The thing is y'all are way more fun when y'all hit these highs and then come crashing down only to rise up on another high. The year that y'all were awful was no fun at all.

I'd go with 73-69 UK. UK's scoring has not been there, I don't know if i'ts Pope implementing new sets or what, but UK hasn't been the same. Some could say SOS, but we were off during the non-marquee games.

Rule of 71.

 

[Demarcus Kidd-Miller]

How do you think UK fans felt for the majority of UTs existence?

 

[JimboBBN]

If rocky and Della had a baby ^

Stop. Being. A. Little. Bitch.

CATS BY 90.

That was a hell of a WSU team. Cleanthony Early was in fire in that 2014 game. Each team threw haymakers on each possessiom, one of the greatest games ever.

Oh IDC if you're cheering for UL, I just replied to your WSU post.

No team has beaten UK more than the Vols.

What's the head to head record?

Go dig up your great grandpa and ask him. I'll stay here in the present and wait for you to get back.

And you only need to beat us 83 times in a row to tie the series. One step at a time.

That one step is coming real soon. You know it and I know it. 😘

Zeigler and Butler should be a fun matchup. Both guards play similarly and are pesky on defense.

Just realized this is a UL-Kentucky thread. Whoops my bad for derailing just wanted to poke the mama bear.

Bingo!

We don’t give a crap. We expect and want you to pull against UK. Everybody on this board knows you hate UK and like seeing them lose more than you like seeing UT win. It’s a fact and everyone knows it!

 

[Hogs1988]

This game won’t be close. Losing Pryor was massive, Kentucky will absolutely dominate the glass. Even if they shoot 30% from three again they’ll put up 70 shots.

Louisville will want to put up a good show, but they’re not very good right now.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

What's the head to head record?

161-78.

Remember that those stats include recent wins, not just from before UT cared.

That's simply not true.

We are fixing to head to Lexington. Anybody else gonna be there???

I wish. Be safe friend.

Just saw what time it comes on. I'm going to miss it. Have a delivery out of state. Sigh. I , for some reason, thought it was a noon game.

bummer. About to call some old folks to see if they want to drive for dinner and a hundred bucks.

Watching at a family party. 90 percent Louisville fans. Can’t wait to drink and be obnoxious

Yeah, but the record book, Google, sports reference and wiki PRESENTLY state the correct records, right? So isn't that 'in the present'D

I like this guy more and more every day.
