The Gamecocks visit Rupp Thursday night.

 

Thoughts?

I hope we hold the hammer down on them all night, and if possible, I believe they will.

 

I think they are all pretty frustrated with that one loss on their resume. I believe Wall and Patterson will have huge games and Kentucky wins big, big - until the reserves come in to end the game.

 

Kentucky 88-65

I have a couple of thoughts on this game.

 

 

1. Kentucky wants to avenge their only loss really bad, and comes out and just jumps all over South Carolina from the get go, and wins in a blow out.

 

 

Kentucky 78

 

South Carolina 57

 

 

 

2. Coming of two big road wins, and another game with Tennessee looming on Saturday the Cats come out flat, and allows the Gamecocks to stay in the game.

 

 

Kentucky 73

 

South Carolina 68

 

 

 

I guess I'll have to go somewhere in between

 

 

Kentucky 75

 

South Carolina 61

I'll predict Downey shoots 35+ shots.

USC has lost four of five.

 

During that stretch Downey has gone...

 

5-20

6-18 (only win)

6-22

11-28

4-18

 

.. from the floor.

Cats by 18+. I think (hope) Cal uses this late Thursday tip and early Saturday tip and explains to a team with little to 0 tourny experience that this is how it works and they come out primed and ready. Downey will get his and that is fine, we just can't give them 2nd chances on all of his misses, which are sure to be plenty of history tells us anything.

30% from the field. :scared: That was about his average against Kentucky. He's just not getting enough shots. :D

Someone told me that he has been nursing a bad ankle, is that true?

 

I'm surprised he's not nursing a sore right wrist from all that shooting

Cat's come out wanting to pound USC for embarrassing them last time.

UK has to control the boards with thier size advantage.

 

UK- 85

USC- 63

UK wins this time around by 15.

I believe we will see a different Patterson in this game. Cats win!

GO BIG BLUE

UK sends a letter to South Carolina saying have fun in the CBI.

I think the Cats will be more than up for this game. UK- 81 SC- 64

I'll predict complete and utter domination. Cats by 30. The role guys play well and UK makes a statement from here on out.

I predict another upset, Downey goes 8-35, blocks a shot by Cousins and he is immediately named the Wooden Player of the Year.
