December 16, 200718 yr On Tuesday, the 4-4 Cats travel to Huston for what is looking like a potential season maker or breaker for Kentucky. Lose in Huston, and the season could be a slippery slope to the NIT or even no post season at all. A win with three lesser opponets and a beatable Lousiville team following could lift the Cat's season tramendously heading in to the ever critical SEC season where the conference, thankfully is down. I do not know much about Huston's team. I dont believe I saw the game last year inwhich UK knocked them off in Rupp - but I understand Huston has a player averaging over 20. Hopefully we can handel him better than we did UAB's leading scorer this afternoon. I will once again put my money on Kentucky. I think they get it together finally and win this one.
December 16, 200718 yr Author I'll take the Cougs at home by 5. Based simply on the season UK is having? I know Huston has that talented scorer but I really dont know anything about them? Do they have a big man that can match or at least slow down Patterson? Again, I don't know. Their record looks impressive but I dont know who they have played.

What big man did UAB have that should have been able to shut Patterson down? They didn't have one, he scored 17 and UK still lost. BTW it is Houston not Huston and either one will probably beat this UK team.
December 16, 200718 yr Cougars by 16. Carter gets 4 rebounds during Tuesday gameday practice and earns a start. He misses a layup, has 4 turnovers, and gets scored on by every man me guards. BG says he played great and that UK is starting to shows sign of improving. Its not wins and losses that matter. It's how you practice that counts.

Its not like Patterson has been going for 30 every night, first of all. Secondly, in order for Patterson to have a big night he needs to be able to receive the ball in the post or at least at a spot he can do something with the ball. With this group of perimeter players UK has, they can not distribute the ball very effectively when he gets position. That is a key ingredient that this team is missing.

I heard BCG after the game say he really liked the intensity Porter played with on the defensive end, never mind his guy had a career game. I can't get past the fact that Porter played 39 minutes for a major Div. 1 team. I'll take Houston by 3.

Maybe you havent been watching the first 8 games, and I hate to break it to you, but this is not a Major Div 1 team this year. It is a major D.1 program, but not a major Div 1 team this year.
