The Cats step it up big time on Tuesday when they take on the #1 ranked Kansas Jayhawks in the 2nd game (of course it is lol) of the State Farm Champions Classic. The tip is scheduled for 9:30pm will probably be closer to 10:00pm. The game is ESPN.

Without their Bigs I don’t see UK beating KU. I’m predicting Jayhawks by 7. 

I expect KU to win, but have no feeling at all how this game will play out.

With no one taller than 7ft out there this will be a huge task. I've been unimpressed with our 3 point shooting, only shooting around 33%. We do spread the floor really well on offense but we need our guys to really attack the hoop on outside shots to get some offensive rebounds. I think the only was the Cats win is to run and gun on offense to get easy drives to the hoop and get Kansas in foul trouble quickly.

Our record in this event has been abysmal lately (1-5) the last 6 games, and I don't like how some fans and our HC play this off as an "oh well" game win or lose. I am a fan that cares about UK being the winningest team all-time and Kansas is the game I want to win the most of these 3 opponents in the classic.

Also I'll be the guy who stays up until the game is over no matter how late it is or what the score is. People like me are why they have us play at Ole Miss at 9pm on a Tuesday Night.

Kansas 82

Cats 69

Kansas 83-76.

Kansas 83-66

Feel like Hunter Dickinson is going to be a problem for the Cats. Seen the line anywhere from -5.5 and I think it moved to -6.5 in favor of Kansas. Not sure I can bring myself to bet it but I think the Jayhawks cover.

Don't really care if the Cats win or lose this one, just hope they look like they play well throughout.

Looking for DJ Wagner to be over 10.5 points.

Looks like the game won't tip until somewhere between 9:45-10:00 that is of the College Football Playoff show goes the full 30 minutes.

I voted for Kentucky because I am from Kentucky and I love my Cats.

What a treat for a Tuesday night!

I took off work tomorrow for this, was hoping to enjoy some bourbon during the game.  Now that it's less than half an hour away, I'm not thirsty and really just hoping to stay awake until the second half starts.

It's varies, today my alarm was set for 4:30.  I'm probably going in tomorrow morning, just not until 8 or 9 which is more like a normal day for me.
