January 5, 200818 yr So Kentucky has now lost 4 games at home and while 2 of them are "excusable" that still unbelievable. The sad thing is, even when healthier than November, this team looks exactly the same as it did the first game of the year.

January 5, 200818 yr The better team won. Nice bounce back for the cards after the Cincy game. Congrats to all UofL fans on BGP.
January 5, 200818 yr I was happy to see Juan "Tello" Palacios get into the groove of things but wasn't to excited to hear Earl Clark would not play today. Hope the Cards can get another win this week againist Huggins and Co.
January 6, 200818 yr Congrats to Louisville. The better team won today. Even with everyone healthy, I wish the cat's could just red shirt this entire season. It's going to be long and painful. Patterson was man handled today. I think he had more of his shots blocked than shots made. Louisville kept him in check.
January 6, 200818 yr It's amazing to me that the thread is this slow moving thus far. Congrats to the Cards on getting it done. They really came out in the second half with a fire. And they really did a job on Patterson today. I never thought UK would do as well as they did for a while with Patterson limited that much.
January 6, 200818 yr It's amazing to me that the thread is this slow moving thus far. There are no reason for Cards fans to have a parade with as bad as Kentucky is this year and the Kentucky fans have seen this for two months now and it's just old. Course that's just my guess why it's moving slow. I'm sure we will still squeeze 2 or 3 pages out of it and bring "the other coach" into the discussion eventually. :lol:
January 6, 200818 yr Louisville was the best team today, plain and simple. I thought that Gillispie made some good adjustments in the latter part of the 1st half by going to that small lineup that brought us back and even to take a 1 point lead. Pitino made great adjustments at the half, U.K. & Gillispie had no answer and the Cards never looked back. Great adjustments and 2nd half by U.L.. Like I said, we (U.K.)were beaten by a better team today. Congrats to U.L. and their fans on bgp. Now the Wildcats have Vandy coming into Rupp next Saturday. This imo will be another embarrasing in our place. 4 losses in Rupp so far and no doubt there will be quite a few more. A sad time in U.K. basketball. (G-W, San Diego and U.L. are embarassing losses). Yes, I put U.L. in that group even though they have a very good team when all are playing well, to me any loss to them especially at our place is embarrasing. I for one will stay with this team though, that is what a fan does. GO CATS!!!
January 6, 200818 yr I've thought about it and here is how I'd classify some of UK's players: Way out of their league - Porter - Coury - Stevenson - Harris Nice high-major role players - Crawford - Bradley High-major talent - Patterson Too young to contribute at this point - Stewart The jury is still out because of injuries, etc. - Meeks - Jasper Anyone I have forgotten isn't important enough to remember.
January 6, 200818 yr Wow what a difference a year makes. A team which talent wise is as good as last years 2nd round tounament team, is somehow so much worse this year. There is no excuse for UK to have gotten down by 20 at home in the second half... I know heard after like the first game of the year this year that we wouldn't have 10 losses anymore like we did with 10 loss Tubby as you all called him. But we definitely will have 10 losses this year, the true question is now is if we get to 10 wins this year. This team is just flat out bad...
January 6, 200818 yr This was easily Patterson's worst game of his career to this point. Part of Pitino's defensive philosophy/preparation is meant to take away the opponets best player. With Jasper and Meeks still not 100% our most consitent player was Patterson.
