Everyone knows Hurley is the most OBNOXIOUS kind of east coast asshole. How about some of you basketballs take a look at the box scores from the UK/UT games and get the hype machine going. Our lineups for both of those games were shaky and less than ideal. They aren't really now. We will beat Rick Barnes three times.
 
Yep, they are favored, already lost two this year to UK, owned by UK for its entire history, and decades of NCAA Tournament flops.
Word. We beat these guys in Thompson-Bowling 2 months ago without Lamont Butler. UT hasn't gotten anyone back or anything. Pretty weird that they are so heavily favored.

They are legit so I am not discounting them but if this Wildcat Fan was setting the line, it would be a pick 'em.
 
The whole thing is incredibly odd. Not only were we underdogs in the first two games, but we were very injured and missing key players and in losing streaks not playing particularly well when we won both games. We’re now fully-ish healthier and it’s on a neutral court and we’re still underdogs. It’s like people can’t wrap their heads around the fact we match up well with them. But it still feels like a very pressure free game from our perspective.

For UT to beat us they have to be on fire IMO. Felt the same with Illinois.

Butler can’t get in foul trouble, limit turnovers, and Butler, Oweh and Brea have to attack the basket.
 
I'm fine with us being the underdog; in perpetuity. In fact, I prefer it.

I would much prefer to be the bad to the bone, gonna walk all over your ass team and the opponent already feels like they have lost when we walk in the gym such as the 96/12 teams……

Or we can be the underdog. That’s fun too, I guess.

Every single talking head picking UT is saying we shot out of our asses in the wins and are using Lanier and Zieglers recent shooting as evidence they will magically shoot better this time. Theyre also ignoring the difference in our roster both times we played.

They also love talking about our defensive lapses in our last 13 games but ignore how we've shut down our two tourney opponents.

I think Lanier and Zieglers have to be great for them to win and I trust Butler and Oweh to make sure that wont happen.

Only way we lose this is piss poor shooting or officiating tomfoolery. UT is dreading this matchup.
