lose this game and it's over...bottom line.
Must win. I think this is the game that’s going to determine if Mark makes it much longer or not. He needs a signature in a bad way, lose to them first time back and I think you can seal his fate. Unless something crazy happens. this game could be something to turn the tide of his career when he looks back.

Also it’s one game and we’ve been terrible. So it’s not something I’m going to just think everything is fine even if we do. Until Kentucky is dominant the way we’re supposed to be it’s failure on all fronts.

Also pisses me off how many people were joyed when we stopped playing them. We would have won the last 15 straight and dominated these guys but we let Calipari sucker us into losing that. Now he’s gone and couldn’t care less and here we are playing them once they’ve got some footing. It’s total BS. And I will always believe and many do he did that because he didn’t want to lose to Crean.

I hate when people throw out the must wins and such but we are getting really close to this derailing if we don't get some results from IU and St Johns.

Yea I don’t think this is a must win. Pope has **** the bed this year. I guess it could get worse but it’s about as bad as it could be. This isn’t a must win game to me. More like they should play loose and free because what is there to lose? They might even come out and dominate today. Lose and we will just keep saying what we’ve been saying.

there’s no must wins if the last four werent.

Yeah, if this were on the road it'd be different. Losing would suck, but it wouldn't be career crippling. You CANNOT lose to Indiana in Rupp and keep your job as UK coach.

Would be like Bama losing to Auburn at Bryant-Denny.

What do you make of IU beating Penn State by 41 and Michigan St. beating Penn State by only 4?

I quit drinking this week and told myself I was gonna get my act together, wasn’t going to let some 18-22 year old rich spoiled brats half assing it out there bother me anymore. Now that I’m six beers deep, looking forward to pulling out a big win and getting this thing turned around.
