Up 36 with 5;34 to go. Is Bradshaw injured?

Anyone have any info other than what was said at the press conference? I recognize that there is absolutely a play where coaches are just acting like they are unsure so UL has to prepare for the possibility of either scenario.

But I don’t like the possibility of not having a point guard in a game like this. If butler is anywhere near close to go then they need to tape it up and play him.

Opened at 11.5. I guessed 13 based on kenpom plus home court.

I hope I’m wrong but I’m going UL on the spread. They have guys who are good shooters, but bad so far this season. Waterman understands pope and could give them some insight, plus I’m worried he will get hot from three whereas he’s been awful all season so far.

UL rebounds the ball well; and we’ve struggled with that at times.

Butler being rusty could hurt, and I’m not sold that he’s going to play. If he doesn’t play, Hepburn could be a real problem to guard and could cause our offense some issues.

All three have a ton of talent, and if they stick with it will be real nice college players.

But right at this moment they are out of sync with the flow of the game. Rushing shots. Overplaying and missing defensive position. These three are really true freshmen and are going to have to figure it at their own pace. All 3 hustle, all 3 want to do well. Their time will eventually come….perhaps even this year. As of last night though they struggled.
In this day of transfer with immediate eligibility they may not stay. I hope they do. They have skills. Not Chapman or Sheppard skills but that’s pretty high level. I’m more than willing to be patient and hope they are as well.

GO CATS !!

Does that spread not seem a little high for a rivalry game with us probably going without our 2 point guards again? Is Louisville really that bad and the Atlantis tournament just a fluke? I haven’t watched them much

In Popes 1st year? Entirely new team, no real recruiting class, etc…

I only had 3:

1. Beat Louisville. They started from scratch just like us. Definitely not a gimme.

2. Beat Ark and have an all around better season. (Better seed and go further in tourney)

3. 7 seed or better and win a game or two in the tournament.

Now….expectations have already changed a little. Let’s get #1 out of the way today!

Ament says he plans to visit Arkansas, along with Duke, Kansas State, and Kentucky.

Programs like Tennessee, Louisville, Texas, and Notre Dame have already hosted him on campus.

Opts out of Sun bowl.

So...Wilcox, Patterson and Mizell. Is that it? 3 RBs is not sufficient as we saw this year. Trayanum hardly played this year due to injury. Is another team really going to spend significant $$ on luring him? Surely, at least at this moment, he had to see himself at RB1 or RB1a. Without the promise of big NIL money, why move on? I would've expected him to get 1/3 or more of the carries next year assuming he stayed healthy. He came out of fall camp as RB1 so the staff must have liked him.

According to Bart Torvik.

Kentucky ranks 8th in the SEC in percentage of field goal attempts being from THREE. They are at 42.4%, and it has steadily gone down over the last few weeks. This is 113th in the country overall, which indicates that the SEC, largely, understands that this is the best way to play offense. At the same time, Kentucky is only 7th in the SEC and 95th overall in 3-point FG percentage, a number that has also tanked recently.

For this team to reach its peak, it likely need to increase in both attempts and percentage.

Tennessee, Auburn and Oklahoma, all are HIGHER than Kentucky in both categories.

Well, no matter how bad things have been here, they are nowhere near as bad as they are at Mississippi State right now.

They are losing their top guys at pretty well every position on the roster (24 so far) and all their top guys from this past season are gone; they are basically taking as many transfers as they can get their hands on. Already have 6 commits, and maybe 1 looks "good". I guess they could be getting some depth guys off the bat, but they look like the new Vandy for the time being. Mississippi State has almost always been really low in revenue in the SEC, and even behind a lot of Big 12 and ACC programs. I think with financials mattering more than ever in the NIL era they will probably be bottom 2-3 most years of the SEC now. Before they relied on the in-state pipeline, but with NIL, that's getting depleted by other programs coming in and taking a lot of that talent. They are 40th nationally in revenue, with the next lowest SEC program being 10 spots higher (Vandy doesn't report).

Portal Commits:
-A backup CB from Kennesaw State; yes a backup from a 2-10 year 1 FBS program
-A backup EDGE rusher from Northern Illinois. Actually listed 3rd at DE on Ourlads.
-A backup WR on a bad Michigan State offense
-A backup WR on a bad Oklahoma offense
-An EDGE rusher from NC State who was hurt the last 8 games. Had okay stats the year prior
-A solid safety from Old Dominion, but thats the closest thing to a bright spot so far, and it's not a great one

I mean, when you are getting backups from MAC and CUSA schools, something is wrong. Even as depth guys that's not a good sign for an SEC school. To get G5 backups as your backups.

Former #Patriots coach Bill Belichick, the greatest coach of all time, will become the next coach at the University of North Carolina, sources say. The deal is done. This is one of the power play moves to get UNC to the SEC…

Thoughts?

AlohaCat

! It will help us in our seeding at the end of the season
2 Hurley while no doubt is a great coach is a complete ass.

He got paid so no biggie but he always would have got paid. My boy should have become a legend.

Thought it would be interesting for fans to post the worst take they have had regarding UK basketball.

And I am talking about a take that you thought for sure was right, and you were embarrassingly wrong. Never hurts to have a little self deprecating humor.

We have a lot of interesting people here. I see some folks that are kind and nice. I see some folks who are combative and mean, a some in between. It got me wondering if your online personality matches your in person peronality.

I'd say I'm pretty much the same except in person, I curse a lot. Whereas I don't on here for obvious reasons. I'm not combative in either realm. I let people think what they want.

So YouTube tv is raising rates again. Going to $82.99 month starting in January. Are there any other streaming tv recommendations that will ensure I get all the ESPN channels and SEC network? I guess I would for sure need TBS/TNT/Tru TV for March madness. $82.99 is getting a little ridiculous!

UK would have probably won it.
And Jones barely tipped it because even so, it hit off the backboard and the front of the rim.

It almost still went in:

Looking for a hidden gem place to eat before the game between 75 and Rupp near Man O War. May not have time for a long wait, any suggestions?
