I think the pressure is on us tonight and I'm starting to feel it

[Cleatortoises]

I'm sure there's some of that. But it's simply a question of the previous guy is always going yo want to prove the point that he was the reason for the success.

And he believes it. 😐

I'm not worried a bit about this game. UK isn't gonna lose at home to an unranked team.

^^This I agree with. Arkansas has averaged 64.3 points per game in SEC play. We can score 75 points in our sleep even with Perry, Chandler and Noah possibly playing 10-15 minutes if they have too.
If we’re cold from three (7 or less makes) - we win 79-68.
If we’re medium from three (10 makes) we win 88-68
If we’re hot from three (12 or more makes) we win 94-68. Hogs can’t score 70

I think I'll go take a #2 and not worry about it!

I wish I could sleep 11 hours. How are you able to pull it off? I usually can only manage six or seven hours at the most, and that's with all sorts of sleeping supplements.

I sleep 9-11 hours most nights. I eat very healthy, no caffeine or alcohol, lift heavy weights, go to bed at same time every night (9:30, won’t be watching tonight’s game live), at 9, I turn on the red light on my phone to block blue light. I sleep with a fan, 1 blanket and not under covers or I get too hot. I usually pee once, sometimes twice

And most importantly, no kids to wake me up lol

 

[StubbornPenny]

I’m good, excited to see it from the nosebleeds lol

 

[darkshadesofblue]

I ain’t scurred!! Time to put the pigs on the spit

I do hope our players know how important this game is to the fans and are jacked up and ready though

 

[SemperFiCat]

Personally, I would rather play Arkansas, led by that guy, than just about any other team in the SEC. We have the horses, the grit, and the coach. If it's close, Cal will blow it.

 

[podgejeff_]

Arkansas is worse than any of the teams we've lost to, and we're getting them at home with probably about as loud and hostile of a crowd as Rupp can muster. And Pope built this team in a cave with a box of scraps and has taken down teams that could all legitimately fill out an Elite Eight. And Cal is still Cal.

Even if we lose we're far better positioned for the future than we were a year ago. We're winning the long game regardless.

 

[Blue wood]

The only thing is, this game really doesn't mean much more to Pope and the players, than any other game. They have no ill-will towards Cal and the past UK players.

I'm sure Pope wants to win for the fanbase. But this game means a little more to Cal and guys like Adou.

Uh, they feal it because of what it means to the fans

 

[BGCATFAN2012]

Best believe there's pressure it's February now and it's time to settle in for the stretch run. Not only losing on your home floor to a former coach 7 months later imagine losing all momentum you gained from a gut checking win you just got. Roller coaster and pressure indeed. Go Cats!!

 

[Fox2monk]

I'm driving up to the WWE Royal Rumble Indianapolis so I'm going to be focused on that. Rumble starts at 5:30 so hopefully it's over by the time the game starts.
I made the right move I think cuz I don't want to be stuck thinking about this game all day... Especially with Lamont not playing.

That’s right I forgot that is tonight.

 

[LmdCat]

I'm a little nervous because I'm not sure how well we'll handle Z and Thiero.

I think the only thing to really be concerned about is can we get into our offense without a point guard on the floor. If we were at full strength, this would truly be a beatdown.

I think we will know the outcome of this game early. If we are hitting our 3s at 40% or more, the game will be over with quickly. If it is a low scoring game, we should be worried.

 

[Disappointed Cat]

For some reason I woke up worried this morning. I know Vegas has us as big favorites and I do think we win but man how bad would it suck if we lost.

Watch out for the trap.....after big win in Knoxville.

 

[UKAlum84]

Either a cakewalk or a game like ohio state.............

Please let it be a cakewalk.

 

[HenryMuto]

This is a must win game tonight for us of all the games left in the regular season this would be the worst possible loss to take the rest of the regular season.
This is a game we must win. I can't even imagine what sickness will feel like if we lost.

 

[ManitouDan]

I pray the players don’t feel the pressure
