Re: Duke/UofL perdiction


As a UK fan, I love seeing UL play iu,osu, unc ***, duke, virg, nc st, etc. One of them has got to lose. Can cheer for both teams to suck it up. UL wins Sat. Duke can not guard UL's guards and JO cant play defense. JO is still the best player in the history of college basketball but not enough to pull out this W. Still calling for Duke to lose 10 games this will be #3. GBB

Well I hope Louisville puts a pounding on them, would make me feel better about our victory there. I don't "hate" Duke but I do like them less than anyone but UConn.

Re: Duke/UofL perdiction

Duke won't win this game. They're imploding and they have no defense. And, they've yet to even see a defense like they will see at UL. And, it's AT UL.

It will be an ugly game, but UL will win this and (gag, puke) Harrell will have a huge day inside against the no-front-line Duke (Okafor can score, but he's yet to show anyone he can play defense).

UL by 12.

I don't like either team, but will have to pull for Loserville, only b/c it will make our win over them look that much better. However, I think puke will win by 4 or 5.

Really? Man, I recall seeing tons of coverage on the UK/UL matchup! Seemed like every other commercial on ESPN was drumming it up!

That's what I think too. UL's physical defense will give them the opportunity to blow the whistle early and often. Wouldn't surprise me to see Harrell with 2 quick ones.

Louisville wins by 7 or 8 points.

Duke can't play on the road well with their style, just wait until they get winged and legged in the bucket.

UL will kill them with pick and rolls, just like they did in the elite 8 game two years ago.

You mean ESPN won't allow it to happen! I'm sure they have a bug in the ears of the right people that there is a lot of tape and hype that they have to run about Coach Kryzzzzzzzzzzzz getting to 1000 wins. They need him to get there before people get bored with the reruns OVER AND OVER.

Charging call against UofL at the end gives Duke the victory.

If NC State and Miami can break Duke's will to win, Louisville will have them on their heels all game. I hate Louisville more than anyone, but their D will punk Duke.

Even though UL flops better, they are new at it. I give the edge to the more experienced Dukie's with a 78 to 64 win over the villers..

WRONG, Its a pleasure watching a sorry team lose today, but it must be pure hell for the lovers on this board to take...

I would never, under any circumstances, pull for the Louisville, Kentucky, Cardinals. Never. I would pull for Satan's team over UL knowing the good Lord has a plan for Satan and another UL victory would be hell for me.

So I hope Duke gets it's usual favorable whistle and UL's fouls are called. If they are Duke will set an NCAA record for trips to the foul line.

Go Duke.

I don't see how Duke* wins this game really. They have been blueprinted by their previous 2 opponents and Pitino is a good enough coach to duplicate what Miami and NC state did. UL plays tough Defense, duke* tries to look like they're playing great D but once you get past their guards, which UL's guards can do at will, duke* becomes vulnerable because their bigs don't defend tge rim.
UL by 10.

UL guards are much better than NCState or Miami, and you seen what they did. Until Okafor learns to defend the pick and roll, this may not be Duke's only losing streak.

Duke's guards have no answer for the physicality/full court fouling that's about to happen to them at Yum. Tyus Jones will probably get abused. Louisville won't really be able to slow down Okafor, but it really will not matter. The Dirty birds win by 6.

But what I'm really watching for, is the possibility that Coach K's head might literally explode, after a series of red-faced expletives on live TV, due to Louisville's hack attack defense.

U of smell will hack, coach K will complain till refs take over , lots of fouls will be called on U of Smell, still won't stop them from hacking , in the end Duke wins at the free throw line by 5

i would pick Louisville over Duke 100 times of 100.

Hope coach k enjoys his three straight loss.

but for UK fans, there really isn't anything that would be negative for us. At best UL will have 1 more loss this week, or Duke has 2 straight loss.
