Brennan Canada and Joey Hart will play.
Really Worried About Taking A Loss In UL Game And This Is Why.
- Thread starter shadowman4
- Start date
Some of their players cannot guard some of our players. If the fouls are called fair, just a huge discretion in pure talent IMO. Of course you always have that X factor of the refs controlling the game.
Op isn't wrong.
If UNCW can beat us, so can Louisville.
Never underestimate a desperate animal fighting for its life.
Especially in a rivalry game.

I think it will be a close game, Ky should win by alot but this is the ville super bowl, the ville should have beat Texas earlier in the year, if Ky has a bad game look out.
They are terrible, just because they had moments of competitiveness means squat. If we go out and play to our capabilities they can’t beat us. If we get up 10-15 early they will quit.
I agree, all we have to do is guard Ty-Laur Johnson. He’s the only creator on the entire team. Sky is ok but not a great athlete, we shouldn’t see him driving by our guards at all.
It’s certainly a possibility and it’s most likely a very small possibility. All the same, it seems to be a weakness in your character needing to call people both delusional and flat out ignorant for being probably wrong.
And esp in their cage; although I think there will be about 10,000 UK fans there.
The Big Blue Mist gets in.
I think UL fans will scalp their tix to Big Blue.
It could be a de facto home game for UK.
Agree with this almost completely...except Miami.
Cal's teams never learn....that is why we lose so often.
I say , Lmao @ probably the most ridiculous post of the year. I would be more worried if we were playing Fredrick Douglas .

Question: we're not even in conference play. There's no chance Kenny keeps his job. Louisville won 4 games last year and likely won't get to 10 this season. In what world is this Louisville team a desperate animal fighting for its life? Their fans and I think the players see the writing on the wall, even at the end of December. It's cute to paint Louisville as some plucky team who can beat anyone, but come on...
We're likely not beating them 114-51 but any UK fan nervous about Thursday or pulling the "well, let's hold on...they can beat us." card needs to just relax and enjoy this week. We don't get too many opportunities where one side is down to the point that they wish they could cancel the game or ignore that it's happening.
You have lost your mind. Can they beat us? Yeah. But you’re talking about some boogeyman shit.
I hate having to defend cal all the time. But it’s only against absurd crap. No he will not throw the damn game because Kenny is his friend
Holy hell.
Idk why anyone is worried about this the Cal and Kenny dynamic. Which two players decide how this team goes? Reed Shephard and DJ Wagner. Who on this team realizes the importance of this game the most? Reed Shephard and DJ Wagner. Hammer the cats they will come out ready to play and are the better team.
NOTHING is impossible but UL beating UK this year is about as close to impossible that you can get. Some of the comments in this thread are mind boggling.
Louisville, while they have a couple of good players, is horrible. For all of you Cal haters, they are coached tons worse. We should beat them by 50. If Kenny isn't fired before then, Cal will try not to embarrass Kenny and we win by 15-20. If Kenny is fired before the game, we will win by 50. They play zero defense. Their defense is worse than ours, and you almost have to try to play defense worse than we do. I'm guessing the line is going to be 20+ and we cover.
The comparison stems from both being trap games. Following a big win, will UK have the right mindset. While UL is traditionally a rivalry game, they aren't a good team nationally and our guys could let it get to their heads.
Kentucky’s first true road game of the year, against a rival who is as desperate as they have ever been. Kentucky should win but the ones saying a 30 point win is going to happen aren’t taking everything into consideration
The cornered animal analogy/ Kenny Payne fighting to keep his job is the motivational seed that they will attempt to instill in their players for this game. Their fanbase wants him gone and everyone else can see the writing on the wall there. But that doesn't mean the players have conceded the fight. Do I think we will win and possibly by a large margin? Yes. But I have also been watching Calipari eff up a gold truck a lot lately. UNCW, Kansas ST, Saint Peters. etc. We have no bearing on the game, but I certainly hope our players aren't assuming a cakewalk. Louisville is down, but this is a rivalry game and Louisville will give their all. This could make or break their season. This will be their Superbowl. And that's why I'm of the opinion that this COULD be dangerous game for us, and the OP's worry isn't that misplaced.
Pretty sure we all thought UK would do that to UNCW ... in Rupp. If UK does indeed put the beatdown on UofL, then that will be better than just the win but maybe some evidence that the team is maturing somewhat. This team could be very good, but it all starts with playing together. Selfishness got us beat against UNCW.
Yes, but the continuous harping about, " how poorly Cal is performing" is old......
Worry about health care cost or inflation and enjoy you have a tv to even watch a basketball game. And maybe you don’t already know, UK is everyone’s Super Bowl.
No it's not. We've sucked for 3 or 4 years. Get over it. When he was good, and everyone was slobbering over him, did you tell them it was old? No, you didn't.
Wrong. Shep didn’t ignore him. They through the ball away on the first pass. Reed was supposed to foul when the ball got across half court but it barely did before their guard threw the ball into his teammates back
They're silent when there's a loss. I don't remember any of these species coming around when we lost to UNCW. But if we win two games in a row they appear as part of Cal's Brigade, calling anyone who doesn't worship him a "juvenile hater" or calling any criticism "old".
You don't know dick about me.........you don't have a clue what I have done.......I have a life outside of UK basketball.......do you Mickey D........
