After a week off and Christmas pudding will they remember how to play basketball?

[WallMashKyBall]

Who's worried?

 

[HerrosHeroes]

Not me. We slaughter Reeves old school:

100
57

 

[bigbluelou]

It's "figgy" pudding. ;-)

And we may start off slow but will finish strong and win comfortably. No idea on a prediction for margin of victory, though.

It is typical in these December games where the Cats play only once a week to look sloppy and a little disjointed the first 10 min. Happens every year. Hate this aspect of the schedule, but not much you can do.

IL St is not a good team. Cats will pull away and probably win by 25 or more.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Did ILL States team not celebrate Xmas and eat since their last game as well? Lol not worried.

 

[WallMashKyBall]

Everyone will be 40 pounds heavier when they suit up.

 

[Walt_McCartys_Attorney]

I bet they look rough for about five minutes, hit their stride right at the first under 12 timeout, and are up double digits by the under 8.

Won't hurt Bradshaw at bit. I hope Klutch allowed him to eat during the break.

 

[Slowwalker]

Nope….these boys may have eaten a little over the break, but they are the hungriest group we’ve seen in a while.

 

[know1]

What do they even have to remember? We only run 1 defense and we have minimal actual plays. They'll be fine.

 

[IL Wildcat]

They'll be doing 2 practices a day this week. I doubt they'll need much motivation to play a game against outside competition. I bet they'll be excited and ready to play. Maybe the defense will look better after some practices focusing on it. Of course, we have to say, we thought Wilmington would be an easy win, too. I'm sure the coaching staff has reminded the team of this, so I expect they'll be ready to play.

 

[bthaunert]

I went to the Illinois State game last Thursday (I work at Illinois State) and I think we will be just fine.

 

[*CatinIL*]

Ill St should be a good game to work off any rust they may have gathered. This bunch of CATS should be fine going forward.

 

[Fox2monk]

Who's worried?

Did they all have Figgy Pudding?

No Figgy Puddin for them, we ate it all.

 

[drew_ukfan]

Kentucky eats first and took it all.

tonight’s matchup is Kentucky Wildcats vs Illinois St Tiny Tims

 

[BelfryKYCatFanatic]

No surprise if they come out a little stale, will be back and forth for the first 5-6 minutes then we pull away and win comfortably by 25+.

This is the last non-conference tune up before heading to Gainesville to a sold out O'Dome 12:30pm next Saturday.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Some of you are forgetting about Camp Cal.

Some of you are forgetting about Camp Cal.

I think Cal forgot about it this year.

Will do Bradshaw good.

Also, I heard ( was Cal?!?!?) that Big Z had lost major weight.

Let's hope Big Z went home and ate hearty !
