The odds for Kentucky winning just skyrocketed. I have decided I will be watching the game. As I said in another thread, please accept my apologies in advance, UL fans.

My goodness, I can't believe I had to rescue this thread from the 2nd page. I've thought long, and hard about this game all week. I know Kentucky has superior talent, but I feared the Cats having to play Louisville ever since the brackets were announced. Dieng and Behanan really scare me inside. I know Pitino will have the Cardinals go right at Davis trying to get him in foul trouble from the get go. From years of watching Pitino coached teams I know Davis will get swarmed every time he touches the ball in the paint. I've also seen the effects a big dome can have on shooters. I think I'm going to have one of my ER doctor buddies prescribe me some Valium for me today. I don't think even that will help. I hate to say it, and I'll hate even more to see it, but Pitino gets the ultimate revenge on all of the UK fans that hate him, and it will be even sweeter to him to prevent Coach Cal from getting his first championship.

 

Louisville 69

 

Kentucky 64

Sandbagger ...

If UL wins on a last second shot does The Shot become the second worst thing to ever happen to UK basketball on the court?

 

We've already been over this. It's not if, it's when. 61-60. KK with the buzzer beater.

Rivalry games are usually tuff, but I think the Cats have too much talent no matter what the Cardinals do. Cats by 5

Cats have too much talent to lose this one. I don't think it will be real close.

 

But if it is, D. Miller refuses to lose.

Heart wants Cards; head says 'Cats. I'm cautiously optimistic, and fully accessorized. I have three lotto tickets I'm going to scratch off just before tipoff, and the results will tell the Cards' fortune.

And regardless of the outcome, whatever Rick's done the past month has worked. It wasn't working before that, and it made me angry. For that, I tip my hat to him. I still don't like him, but I respect the hell out of his coaching ability. He needs to recruit better.

 

Geaux Cards!

I notcied that GT has refrained from giving his thoughts on this game. Let's hear it GT. Who wins?

 

Now that I know RM is watching I say UK holds off a late UL rally and wins by 11...

Prepping me for my eventual probable guilt trip? :lol:

Don't feel guilty. This game is over before it starts so it isn't your fault. Just hope for an enjoyable, tight contest before the inevitable outcome and enjoy the Cards' improbable run to the final four.

I predict UK 83, UL 75

 

My dad says UK 77, UL 71
