[UKWildcats1987]

Seems about right. I said 10 to 12 points. Maybe more if we finally start hitting 3s again.

 

[HerrosHeroes]

Sounds about right.
They aint beatin us in Rupp.
Sorry

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Hopefully that means they think butler is playing

Amazing how these things all seem to agree with each other lol.

I think you're probably right but nothing is a guarantee. I remember sitting in the stands when a not good UL team beat our eventual national champs in the 1997-98 season at Rupp.

I don't know about that spread. I think game will be closer than you think. If Butler not playing, we could be screwed. Colgate game in my opinion was horrific. this should have been a 30+point blowout, and we just squeak by.

30 ? Without Butler and Krissa?
Plus we didnt just squeak by either.
The lead ballooned to 18 bigguns with 5 minutes left. The gsme was over at that point.
Plus, its kinda hard to get motivated for a toothpaste brand; not so much v your arch rival.
Cats by 20

Completely different scenarios. Colgate was a mid-week trap game against a bad opponent. Tomorrow is a rivalry game with what should be a fired up Sat evening crowd for Pope's first Louisville game.

Effort and motivation were the problem in the 1st half on Wed. That won't be an issue tomorrow.

Cats win by 15

I was there too. That game was horrible. Season turned out OK but we just went through the motions that day.

Pope said earlier he's doubtful

He ain't playin.... gotta get his ankle healed for conference play

 

[Sejonesy]

Pope said earlier he's doubtful

Never said that. Said they would see how he looked today in practice and hoped he could go. Nowhere did he say he was doubtful.

 

[CRZ4UK]

I watch it because I wanted to see his body language. It wasn’t good. I would be surprised if he plays.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

I don’t think he said he is doubtful, I think he said he would like to have him tommrrow and that they would see if he could go

 

[KAB Cats]

Not touching that spread. Game is too unpredictable historically.

 

[Sejonesy]

I was just responding to someone that said Pope said he was doubtful. He never said that.

Accurate. He was very noncommittal

 

[Blueheart32]

I'm guessing this will be bet up to 12.5 or so before game time.

Was just reading between the lines...guess we'll find out soon enough

Yeah I don’t think he plays, but what we will find out for sure tommrrow at like 4:30

 

[legalbeagle123]

Can't ever take anything for granted in this game, regardless of records and rosters.

 

[Nightwish84]

I think we win by around 14. Louisville can't shoot and their injuries hurt them more than ours have hurt us. They just don't have the manpower for 40 minutes against a top 10 team. I do think next year Louisville can be top 25 but Pope has simply been much better than Kelsey as both programs have started from scratch at the same time.
