My nerves are already high.

My stomach is in knots as we get closer to game time. We really need this win. Pope needs this win. The guys deserve it after all the injuries. I'm just going to be sick if we lose this one.

Talk me off the ledge guys, the clock is moving incredibly slowly!
Bro, I’m getting a little that way too. I’d feel a little better if some bigger upsets happened. I trust Pope though and I think Cal PTSD is the nerves
 
Screw that. I hope it’s a miserable experience for our opponent. 😈

They only have 2 guys avg double digits per game and they both shot 27% from 3.
Their entire team is 29.9% from 3
Their best 3 point shooter is at 37% and only plays 10 min/game and avg 4.6 PPG
Of their starters their best 3 point shooter is at 33%
Oh we are clearly the better team on paper, but teams get beer muscles in this tournament.

Unfortunately, it seems like teams hit 3s at an usually high rate against Kentucky
 
I'm alittle gun shy after the last 5 Marches haven't been kind to us. I'm not even sure how I'll react to a loss tonight and hoping The University of Kentucky Men's Basketball Coach Mark Pope is ready to get his first tournament win tonight. Anything starting Sunday is surprising. Let's go Cats its time to but some life back into the program.
 
Knock back a shot of Pappy about 15 minutes before the game and every 15 minutes during the game!
That will take the edge off. lol

Nah, we got this today. I think we will win handily.
If Troy plays like they played Arkansas we should win by 15-20. I just hope we get a well officiated game where we finally get fouled called when warranted and they let us run our offense for once without being held on every play.
 
Troy tallest guy is 6 ft 8 and he does the bulk of the shooting. Amari and Brandon need to stay on him ,hand in face style .Troy really gets after it defensively. they pressure alot, we have take care of the ball, that's critical .

I'm right there with you. I won't be angry if we lose, but I'll be incredibly bummed, disappointed and sad for Pope.
 
This is the first year I have had the old school nerves before a game like I used to. I think the game is going to be closer than I want it to be. Hope I'm wrong. Would love a nice blow out.
I agree with this. I have just had this feeling in the pit of my stomach this game is going to be uncomfortable for far too long for my liking.

84-68 Cats.
Im thinking about recording it and watching later. Don't need the stress of losing to a Sun Belt team. Everyone while they still have time to.. take a deep breath and tell themselves it's just a game and find a way to enjoy it. Then put 100 or 2 on whomever we are playing. So win or lose it's kinda alright.
