…….the CATS might throw out a clunker today on the road.
Here’s hoping it’s just gas!
GO BIG BLUE! Beat the damn AGGIES!!!

Unfortunately I have a gut feeling that……

- Start date
Could happen but I feel this team has enough shooters to mitigate an off night from a player or two. That is, if JVC is willing to go with the hot hand.
This is good Karma considering you called Calipari every name in the book right up until we won at Florida. Please rant all game long and give up after the first TV timeout again. Bring us luck!
Don't have a good feeling about this one either. A&M has too much on the line to let this one get away. On the flip side IF we get out with a win the rest of the SEC better buckle up, this outfit is for real
That's funny...I have a gut feeling we get hot from 3 and win fairly easily by 10+.
Calipari deserves a large portion of crap he gets here. that doesn't change the fact that this is a good team playing an exciting brand of basketball.

I always enjoy wins more on days like today. I know it will be tough, crazy environment.
Almost expect to lose. But then if we win, I’m on cloud 9 the rest of the weekend.
Fortunately, all those other teams losing earlier in the week will soften the blow if we drop today’s game.

Could very well lose...and quite frankly, won't be that big of a deal. The top 5/10 has been repeatedly crapping down their legs against unranked teams on the road.
Combine that with the fact that the Cats have one of the youngest teams in the country, wouldn't be that surprising.
Aggies are kinda desperate....could be a fight today
I really, really like your gut feeling. 👍
That’s bad news for us. I feel like we really needed his physicality and defense and energy today.
Oh, I fully believe that Cal, the terrible in-game coach is still lurking in there, waiting to come out in a rock fight.I just think that Welch has made a huge impact towards fixing many of his flaws. THANK GOODNESS FOR WELCH!
So Thiero has now missed close to a month with an injury that was first reported as general soreness.
It’s every. Damn. Year.

Yeah, those clunkers are going to happen multiple times. I think the better teams can steal a win or two in some (not all) of those situations.
Personally, I’m not even suggesting it’s not a real injury. I’m sure it’s a very real injury as Adou is no Shaedon Sharpe and that dude will play when he can.
It’s just that every single year we lose a guy to an injury (real or otherwise) for a much, much longer time than we initially expect. At this point when we have a guy go out you just have to expect him to miss a month at least no matter what it is.
He hasn’t practiced all week but I’m going off of every calipari aspect in the past. If he doesn’t practice any during the week he ain’t playing
Adou really would be perfect for these road rock fight games.
Really need Edwards to give us something on both ends of the floor today.

It does, back injuries are nagging and are annoying as hell. He hasn’t practiced this week and with calipari we know that means he is out. I hope this game could be a exception and cal let him go if he were ready, but he ain’t playing today
This ain’t the type of game for Justin Edwards, I’m afraid. Here’s to him proving me wrong.
We haven't had him for the last couple of games and we won, against teams much better than A&M...
That’s exactly what I’m saying too. Just bad luck. I want him back!!!!
Agree. This team needs Thiero to be at its best. Sorry if this comes off as “hating” on Edwards, because I think he’s fine as a freshman backing up at PF. In fact, I would love to see him back at UK for another year or two. I believe he could easily develop into a good SF (e.g., the current Kansas model for developing SFs). But currently I feel like when Edwards plays SF or even ahead of Thiero at any position, then he’s holding this team back a little and maybe costing the team a 4-5 point differential per game.
It feels more academic than anything. Cal usually always plays them like this, like he did with Deandre liggins
Who is much better than A&M (especially as a road game)? Mizzou at Rupp? Not close. Florida? I don’t think so. Illinois State? Lol. That’s a crazy statement. This is the toughest test we’ve had since he went out. Not sure what schedule you’re looking at.
I wonder if his back is hurt worse than what they’re saying? We know he’s really hurting to not be playing.
I’m thinking with the advancements in medicine his back spasms would be better by now. We do seem to have a shitty medical staff that has real issues treating player injuries.
No idea. I've heard all sorts of reasons that we will lose:
A&M is "desperate" - desperate teams don't just become top 10 teams overnight - most times it results in a sloppier game with more turnovers, more fouls, and bad shot selections.
Others in the top 5 also lost - this plays zero into why A&M could beat UK.
Adou isn't playing - he hasn't played for about a month and we've won without him, against much better teams.
A&M's place will be loud and crazy - and playing at UF was like playing at a funeral??
We go cold from three - this would be quite the feat given we have 3 players that can light it up (Reeves, Shep, Dillingham), can shoot from there at a decent clip (Tre), or are starting to improve (DJ). This is possible, but still unlikely given how many weapons we have. The day all of them go cold will be a strange day indeed. I think we had our one anomaly with UNCW and don't expect another today.
Cal will screw this one up because he loves "rock fights" - probably the most legit possibility, but still not that probable as he's shown us that he is good with running Welch's offensive scheme, so far...
I have a very small amout of hope after the last game. He was really trying to assert himself on the offensive end down the stretch and looked like he had some confidence for a change.
With his size/length, you'd like to see him put an emphasis on defense and rebounding and let the offense come to him. I'm sure Cal is preaching that to him.
A lot of his mistakes seem like mental things/confidence issues. I think if he gets in the right head space, he can be a decent bit better than what we've seen. I'm not expecting him to wake up and average 20 points or play his way into the lottery. But he can be more productive and consistent.
Florida at home would be a tougher game than today. This is of course my opinion.
Cats need to get up and down and dictate the pace. We want a high scoring game. A&M will ugly it up and try to turn this into a slow rock fight. Definitely need our offense to show up today.
I disagree but am cool with agreeing to disagree. I just really take exception with the “teams much better” statement. A&M is #34 on KenPom, Florida #45. I know that’s not an exact science, but it’s the numbers.
