Who else is concerned about Bama game?

He’ll I’m concerned about them all. That’s just the way I roll. Cal kinda Stockholmed me to be this way.
I just hope we can get over starting out behind every game it seems. Going to be tuff game.
And how!!! My pop's fantasy lay...Dolly Parton stacked.
I agree but I also think they're going to get Kentucky's best. I just have a good feeling about how the Cats are going to play.
I expect to get down a dozen early due to some chicken **** foul call from the 3 mice they send in. We can name any of the 6 and 1 will be in Lexington Saturday.
As far as Bama goes Sears will eat us up in pick and roll. Gotta play our toughest game of the year Saturday and earn another top 10 win that will put us in a 1 to 3 seed talk.

Hopefully all practices before the game are held at Rupp. So many games it’s like it’s our first time seeing those rims.
Gotta put Butler on him and do all we can to protect him from foul trouble. Butler is the answer to Sears. He's good and he'll get his share, most likely...but Butler on Sears, all game long, could change the game a lot. May be wrong but I don't think we have anyone else to control him...but Butler CAN!

I thought that was Collin Chandler.

This is one of the three remaining home games I really worry about losing. Alabama, UT and Auburn. Not saying we lose any but will be tough games.
And we have at vandy and at UT after this game. You run the risk of losing 2 of 3 and also have vandy and their dumb gym in the middle.

I never understood the reasoning behind being part of the most winning program in history and playing scared every game.
It's the SEC.
You better be concerned about every game. I bet Pope is.

Who said scared??
I said concerned.
And now that I look at the post a little bit, I don't see anybody saying scared.
You do know that concerned and scared are two different things right?
Pope has made a point of talking about pick and roll defense. Kentucky is getting better as these players learn to play together and in Pope’s system. I believe we are right there as the best team in the SEC and are too much for anyone at Rupp.
I agree….IF Lamont Butler is healthy. That’s what I’m looking at for this game.
Yeah I know the difference no reason to be a little *****. Every game someone crying because we are playing a good team. You wanna be the best you got beat em. Grow a pair.
Zero ***** given what you look for. I’ll keep looking for you to cry before every game.
And I will keep looking for you to get some reading comprehension.
I probably won't hold my breath.
Why you so mad kid?
Are you that upset you had to go back to school today?
Come on man, I don't think anybody said they were scared about anything.
Why you trying to put words in posters mouths?
Just relax and get your homework done.
This thread went full-on Axe body spray and creatine shakes. 
As someone who was in LOW lower arena Tuesday night I can tell you Butler's on the ball defending is very impressive.
I watched him very carefully and he is one heck of a defensive player.
No we do not have anybody else that will be able to stick to Sears like him, but Sears is gonna have to work to get it done.
Can't afford for Butler to get a couple of quick fouls.
Well that escalated quickly
Relax guys, it is one game. Win or lose it will not make one ounce of difference come March. I truley believe UK beats Bama but may lose to a lesser tam later in season. Again, it is going to be a fun night in Rupp. Be there, be loud, that is ALL we can do.
This.
Some of our fans continue to falsely believe weird narratives, like the one about how a team coming off a loss is going to be hungrier to beat UK.
Teams don't need extra motivation to play Kentucky hard. We are the program every opponent circles in the preseason. Playing in front of a sold-out Rupp crowd with a chance to take us down is more than enough motivation.
I think it's not really specific to UK.
Just that Alabama had a bad game the prior game and you don't expect a good team to have two bad games in a row. I think it's that kind of mindset.
Not necessarily they would be extra motivated because as you said they don't need extra motivation when your playing another top team in the same conference. Just that you'd expect them to play better.
You don't expect them to shoot 5 for 20 from 3 and turn the ball over on 28% of their possessions. Or just in general put up back to back horrible games on offense.
This is why whenever we have a bad game and loss people will almost always say "oh man if we play like this against X team in a week we are going to get killed"
And then that almost never happens. Because how you play in one game has zero bearing on how you are going to play the next game.
Look at it from Bama's perspective: they're playing an away game against one of the two teams in the country capable of beating them in a shootout playing at their pace. We can literally beat them at their own game.
On some level that must worry them. Bama beats you with offense and Pope is every bit the offensive genius Oats is.
