They should hang a banner for this, I think they got a few open spaces up in the rafters these days.
“I think today I’d take Louisville’s roster over Kentucky”
For what exactly?
Drug dealing?
Potential used car salesmen?
Who could roll the best blunts?
I'm more annoyed that this tweet has no information of who any of these people are. Are they Louisville people. Are they national people. What's the context?
I've seen other non-UK fans say similar.
Both teams are still trying to add pieces, so no final verdict yet, but I'm taking Kentucky today top to bottom.
I'd rather have Lamont Butler than Chucky Hepburn or Koren Johnson and Amari Williams and Brandon Garrison are besting their bigs inside. Terrence Edwards might be the best player between the two rosters so far, but if we get Robinson or Lanier that might be close to a wash.
Both teams will rely heavily on 3 point attempts, and on paper UK has better shooters. Also have more tournament experience. More depth as well.

I’m extremely concerned about our Guard play. College basketball has always been a Guards game and we project to have just okay guards next year. The lack of an elite PG that excels at dribble penetration (think Mark Sears) would be my primary critique.
We had elite Guard play last year and how did that work out? Think our guard play will be fine, one thing we will have that we haven’t had in an extremely long time is a coach who knows how to best utilize his roster. Have no idea how good we will end up being but I’m just looking forward to actual coaching and game planning again.
Perhaps your critique is valid, but within the context of this thread, I’m not sure how it’s relevant. UL doesn’t have an elite PG either.
As far as the roster comparison… I tire of that stuff. I guess that’s what fans do between April-November cause there’s nothing else to do. But we’ll see when the ball is tipped.
He sounds like a ville fan. I am a Ky fan I will take Pope and the Ky players.
No. Just no. We just got rid of this type of think.
We need a PG that can run a team. Cam Spencer wasn't considered elite but UCONN didn't seem to mind when they hoisted the trophy.
We have a guard who has lead a mid major to a Final 4 in that same tournament that “is about guard play”
You’ll have to forgive him he’s still suffering from Cal fatigue. Horrible ailment.
Just found a few stats
Average 3 point shooting (taken from their top 6 players with most attempts from portal)
Louisville / 36.7% on 23 attempts
Kentucky / 39.45% on 27.5 total attempts
tournament experience (looked at total roster, only counted if the player played over 10 minutes in the game)
Louisville / 4-8 with 0 games past the round of 32
Kentucky / 11-9 including a title game appearance, a sweet 16, and an upset of a #1 seed Purdue

We had two lottery pick guards this year. Lot of good that did.
I’m confident Butler and Karissa can lead a great team. Karissa already has and Butler was a NC game PG. get Lanier and he’s the type piece we are missing IMO.
Castle was though, Spencer was off ball but he was very good. As good as anyone in college to me.
L1C4 !! says they would take their roster over Kentuckys.
I am shocked. Absolutely shocked I tell ya. 😳

Castle was a role player, a 5th option most of the year and the least valuable of UConn's starters. I feel like UConn could have plugged a multitude of transfers into Castle's spot and got better production.
It would’ve worked out great if we didn’t have some of the worst bigs in college basketball
That's a hard one measure since one of our elite guards played scared, or frozen, for the complete game.
That and the ability to stop a parked car with no engine and a boot on all four square wheels.
Kelsey has obviously done a very good job there putting a roster together, but give me a damn break, it’s not really close. Kentucky is a tournament team, Louisville probably will double their win total.
Or could stop an elementary school point guard from driving to the basket.
He tore it up in the national championship game, he was still the PG. 11/4/3 a game as a freshman
is good on a team that good. He’s gonna be a pro too.
Truly bizzare!!! Played like he had a family member that was kidnapped before the game and was told to throw it or else.
