South Carolina loses by 40 to Auburn

auburn is much better at home than the road. They will come out very aggressive and try to bully us at the start. If we don't match that it will be a long night.
Changing the starting line-up would help. Need a fast start.

South Carolinas lack of offense was shocking. I get their style of play but yikes they can get bounced by the 12 if their a 5.

Kentucky can score just as well if not better than auburn. Could be a total of 210.
Yeah, but Auburn actually plays some resemblance of defense, so we better have some type of game plan if we want to outscore them. If we want to match their physicality, we have to utilize the bench and hopefully lure them into foul trouble while sacrificing some of our guys to pick up fouls. You know that whistle is going to be one sided.
 
Man...for some reason, and I am really not sure why, but I think UK surprises everyone on this board, including me, and gets the win at Auburn.

Seems like there is always that one game a year under Cal where we all think the Cats will get boatraced or don't stand a chance, and yet they somehow pull out the win.

A couple that come to mind are at WVA in 2018, at KU in 2022, and at Arkansas last year.

I could be way off and the Cats get their doors blown off, but I think UK pulls the stunner.

that was supposed to be the UT game
 
I refuse to talk myself into a potential win, only to get disappointed. Once it was obvious they’re a legit team (especially at home) I figured we’d lose. I’m sticking to it, and hope I’m wrong
 
It's actually a good thing. Auburn likely comes out very, very flat Saturday. Could they have a total letdown? I guess we'll find out soon enough. 😉

If we stay out of foul trouble, we have a shot.

I’m feeling this way too. UK has more talent than Auburn and I believe we will show up on Saturday and win this one
 
UK fans need a large betting pool go in for an Auburn win to have any chance, and I believe that just might happen!

If you know how some of these key games are controlled for a desired outcome, you know that UK will be the beneficiary of that outcome, if “Vegas” is in a position to lose a large (or medium) sum of money. Prediction:

UK by 4
 
To me it’s a win win.

Either we win and we get momentum. Or we get our ass handed to us and we have a final answer in this team. And Cal.
It does feel like one of those no-stress games. If you lose, well that's what everybody expected. But if you win, everybody gets giddy and hope springs eternal. I hope UK at least keeps it close (I know, that's embarrassing for this program to just hope to "keep it close," but...) and puts up a real fight.

Probably best case scenario for the Cats...maybe catch them overconfident on a flat night...but I fully expect to pick up the L...
 
Why do people come on a UK basketball forum to say they don't want to watch UK basketball? Go to a bar or something and have fun instead of coming here if you have no interest in watching our team play.
Because their life sucks so bad that they can't have fun doing anything else in life either.
 
I'll come on here and say whatever the **** I wanna say bud. Get the **** over it and stop telling people how to deal with being a fan to this program. We have 4 home losses this season, so hell no, I don't look forward to watching Auburn on the road. Why the **** do you care which games I watch anyway?
Your posts are kind of like Gonzaga pounding us in the post...like a broken record. Over and over and over and over.

I always get a kick out of the nerds that come on here to try and tell everyone how to fan. I said I wasn't gonna watch 1 game, and it really bothers some of you. To me, I don't give a shit what any of you all do as fans. Watch every game, or watch the games you want, I don't really give a ****. Has absolutely no bearing on me. I'll sleep the same either way.

I agree with you. I will record the game as always and if we win I will watch. If not screw Cal. Going to Bellarmines game at Knight's Hall at 7 after going out for pizza first. Cal has ruined it all for me but I surely won’t sit home and worry. Other things to do.

How many pro players do we have and how many pro players does Auburn have? Why should we lose? Just need our guys to want it more than their guys. Right?
 
I think so as well. They just aren’t consistent enough scoring the ball. Looking at their remaining schedule I see a possibility of up to 4 more losses in league play.
They are exactly like Virginia, Virginia will keep almost any team in a game because they can’t score enough, same thing with scar(away from home)

I have always liked Pearl. He’s always going to have success no matter where he is at. I don’t think there’s any coach that try’s harder. If had our team we would be much better and a top 10 team.
 
UK will need to bring their “A” game to have a chance and even that may not be enough.i think it comes down to getting a high level of play from Wagner, Dillingham, Sheppard and Reeves to win the game. Go Cats!

Or just try not to get down double digits the first 10 minutes of the game. That would be massive.
 
I must be kinda slow tonight. What did I miss? What message did you think Pearl sent to Mitch, whether intentionally or not? I hope it was really a good one!!😃💙
Mitch wouldn’t ever hire Pearl by choice, sees him as unfit because of compliance issues in his past. The man Mitch did hire had the basketball resources of Kentucky at his disposal and lost to South Carolina at home. The man Mitch wouldn’t hire beat South Carolina to a bloody pulp, only the final buzzer kept it from getting even worse, and only had the basketball resources of Auburn. That’s a message about Mitch’s choice, whether intentional or otherwise and whether anyone picks up on it or not. I personally would say it was a pretty good one.

Yeah, I have zero plans to watch us play at Auburn. Thanks John Calipari.
'Kentucky fan" with zero plans to watch Kentucky....

But I guarantee if they lose you will be here promptly posting your regularly scheduled negative hyperbole

You have let your hate for one person LITERALLY control your actions.....yikes

Good lord, seek help.
 
Kentucky is one of a few schools that have the talent to go in there and win, however as we all have seen, they do not have any rhythm or cohesiveness(that they should have by now) and unless I miss my guess will get stampeded and run ragged, it could be as bad as the USC loss, very difficult place to play and I do not know a single school unless Uconn that could go in there and win.

This will be their second biggest game of the year (only behind Bama). Students are already camping in line and College Gameday will be there. We need to be practicing with about 200 speakers going full force

I would trade Cal for Pearl today- say what you want about Pearl but he absolutely does whatever he can to help his team- give him the talent UK has and we would be dangerous
 
auburn is championship good. uscjr has to hit 3’s to keep you in their torture chamber. if they get behind more than 10 they’re probably not coming back.

Flat...Auburn students started camping out this morning and Bruce Pearl is their coach. Not happening.

Those were road games. Auburn has probably the best home court advantage in the SEC. 6-0 with average margin of victory at now 22/game. Won every game by double digits.
Exactly like I said before Auburn is a whole different team at home compared to the road. Problem is even if we were at home this year who knows but for sure we are getting smashed at their place.

We might have to hope for a moral victory here and lose by single digits.
 
Damn seems like when they play bad they play baaaad. They are still a really solid team IMO. Their coach impressed me but it’s not hard these days against retired Cal.
They are definitely dangerous, especially when they’re allowed to dictate their style.
