We’re beating Auburn

I'm spending Friday evening watching my DVDs of the time #1 Florida came to Rupp in 2003, followed by the time #1 Tennessee came to Rupp in 2019...

If you have any doubt Kentucky CAN win tomorrow, watch what Rupp did to two #1s on those nights...
That UF game was last game I went to.. Was a sellout and LOUD.. My head rung for days after that..
 
Really not sure if I want us to win. We win; dook becomes the #1 overall seed. That’s puke worthy.
Man, I want Duke to be #1 so bad. I hope and pray they get the overall #1. It'll make their inevitable S16 loss that much sweeter.

To the thread topic, we're certainly capable. I don't expect Auburn to flinch though, so Kentucky will need to be near perfect. It's possible.
 
Time to find out if our program can win in March. The last few years have been a disappointment and with the calendar turning over tonight it's go time and winning against the overall 1 tomorrow would do wonders for a confidence boost heading into last few weeks of the season.
 
I thought we could with Jax, now an unlikely player must step up. If someone like Noah or Perry even Bulter goes off U of L style, we have a chance but someone is gonna have to blow up and Auburn make 8 or less 3s.

I remember the Florida game like it was yesterday and would like to watch the replay, but the recording would look like it's from the Nixon administration and I'll feel old.

Did you see where Pearl says that the Cats get Home Cooking at Rupp! He is already calling attention to the officials who are working tomorrow. If they lose he will say I told you so, it might have the officials try to make it rough before calling fouls. He is a Clown, a good coach but a clown.

If we shoot well, we will win because it doesn't seem like we can stop anybody- man up, rebound and don't turn the ball over
 
Ive got a good feeling about this one. We'll see tomorrow.
I'm glad you guys do! Because I just don't feel this one. I've watched AU a lot this year, and they seem to have a answer for everything thrown at them.

They remind me of some of our great teams!

It'll take a special shooting night from 2-3 guys to beat a team like this. I'm going to say we will need to put up 80+ to have a shot at winning!

Yep, been watching a little extra Auburn this week and I have to be completely real…I have no idea what weaknesses they even have. Almost everybody they put in the game is lethal, excellent at every position, outstanding on both sides of the ball, can score in a multitude of ways, both physical and skilled, deep as they are good….we need to hit a lot of threes and the crowd has to carry us.

Brea will have to step up.
BG and O can't have let downs.
Noah needs to find the Mamba.
Amari needs to go at Broome hard and often
Butler needs to look like himself.
Same for Carr and AA needs to return.

Get that and I feel good. 2-3 sleep walk and we're in trouble.
 
I kinda feel like we need to hack Broome, I was surprised to hear he's only 64% from the line. No easy baskets. I also think we need to play through Amari inside-out. We also need to figure a way to get Brea open more. Passing is key tomorrow, make the extra pass, no backing them down, holding the ball for 10secs.

Broome should be easy to stop. Just don't let him go left. Just kidding, I know he doesn't ask permission to go where he wants to. But he does prefer to go left and has maybe the most consistent jump hook I've ever seen. We should game plan that he will beat his man going left and try to draw a charge or two against him or get a few steals.
