UL vs. UK Predictions

Kentucky took step back vs UCLA but still like them by at least 10
 
Is this where each team's posters try to convince the other that their team is the worst right now? I'm down. We will start off really slow, get crushed on the boards, and allow a ton of points in the paint.

UK: 74
UofL: 66

Snider in his 7th year with go for 20 & 10. VJ King and Adel will combine for 9 three pointers. UL by 9.

Cal hasn't lost to U of L at Rupp, and I honestly think UK needs this game more than U of L right now.
I'd say. UK dropped even further in the polls for losing on a neutral court to UCLA than UNC did losing at home to Wofford. Laughing
 
Meh. You can argue that if you had the same resume
Resume is including in the rankings. UNC had moved up 2 spots the week before because they beat UT. I don't think UK even deserves to be #16th. Just thought it was funny.

John Higgins had something to do with it I’ll bet. And he would of gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for you meddling cats fans. Winking

UK is really about where they should have been to start with.
Yes, I agree. And if the defense continues to regress or show no progress they deserve to be out of the top 25 in the next few weeks. No excuse to have that length and suck so bad on defense 2 months into the season, I don't care how young they are. I am pretty sure Washington thinks flexing on someone will intimidate them into missing shots. It doesn't.
 
I think UK bounces back in this one with help from the home crowd. Cal will make sure that UCLA game got their attention.

UK 75
UL 72

If not, it’s going to be entertaining to watch a lot of these annoying, frontrunning fans have a meltdown.
 
if ul is such a bad program why didnt they do what unc did. ncaa wouldnt have took down their banner if they had to take down three of uncs first. maybe the sheep media should applaud uls new leadership.

least interest in the state for the matchup ive ever seen. plenty of uk fans are convinced the sport is rigged, so why get excited or upset by it and are losing some passion which has been stolen by espin ncaa and higgins.

and ul fans dont know what to think.
 
Haven't seen Louisville enough to make a prediction, but they have some talent and more experience. Plus, their roster probably cares a lot more about this rivalry than the Kentucky freshmen.

I'm at that point of the season where I'm not expecting Vanderbilt or Baker to play. If they do come back it'll be a nice surprise. If not, I'm fully on board with the team we have.

He's practicing with the team and is expected to play in Jan.....

Here's how our 1-2 guard looks in a recent workout video

He's probably not suiting up this year.



Too much risk. He's gone after this year so playing could hurt him (Giles) and Diallo wasn't forced to play. I doubt you see Vandy on the court. It will be his choice if he plays though.
 
Home team rules in this one. Uk hasn't really put it all together yet---they seem due imo. Crowd should help down the stretch. Danger zone for UK is coming out super sluggish and letting UL get a cushion----young teams have a habit of pressing too much when behind the 8 ball.
