I know we play Colgate Wed but who cares; they have no shot v this Ky team esp in Rupp.

So lets talk Louisville.

I think we boat race them by 20

Say 85-65

They have 8 scholarship players and (many of) our guys will be looking to leave a mark on the series in their final year of college basketball. Cats by 20. I think Perry and Noah play the final 3-4 minutes and both score to add symbolism to the victory.

The way pope was talking tonight, it sounds like butlers injury might a little more nagging than previously though. If butler doesn’t play Saturday, then that game will be a lot harder than people expect. Still think butler plays Saturday and the cats win by double digits.

I'm actually going to say Louisville mucks the game up and tries like hell to be physical with us, since that seems to be the way people are saying to defeat this Kentucky team. And considering we're shorthanded, if we still are short without Butler, then I'd think the game will be somewhat closer that what it otherwise might be.

still, UK by 20+.

If that's much better ! Our guys are going to see a rival come into Rupp and we're going to plain unleash on them. It's just coming, dirty birds.... it's just inevitable. It is coming... It cannot be helped, you are on the schedule. We're here and ready and waiting.

Welcome to Lexington, dirty birds .... your personal beatdown city !

Go Big Blue !

I hope so we gonna need him.it will be tonight because one thing Louisville has in a PG who is a great defender so if we don’t have a good ball handler it could be kinda ugly.

During that game, the announcers said that Louisville has FOUR (4) players out for the season ... that's WILD !!!
Yeah 2 were already sitting for the year and redshirting. The BYU center Kalifah and another one. Then Koron Davis hurt his shoulder for surgery and now their center is out Pryor.

I think Louisville gets too aggressive on defense and we pick them apart. I’ve watched almost every game they have played this year and they tend over extend on D-fence.

Coach Pope said Colgate is the only important game next for this team. We need to trust the coach and not put additional pressure on the players thinking about a very good Louisville squad. Don’t put that evil on this team!

This is what many would call a jinx.

Can't sleep on UofL. They are in the Kenpom 50s. We struggled, at times, with worse teams like WKU and GaST. Butler isnt 100%, we dont even know if he will play. We're already without Kerr and he's kind of the moxie on this team.

UofL isn't a joke like they were the last few years. Stay hungry, but stay humble.
