A lot can change until we play them, however, as it stands today I would put UL at about an 8 point favorite.
Does Louisville beat us?

Have you seen our schedule ontop of the improvement of the SEC this year? I like how people always do the "Lol Okay" route. I'll gladly have a debate on this or a friendly wager...
Oh let me add lol okay to you to

Yeah, I've heard the "lol, okay" thing myself when I posted that either Marquette or UL would beat us by double digits right now. Things could improve but it'll take some time.
9-12
15-17 is outlandish. Of course, anything is possible. But I’ll gladly bet against it.
I would never have predicted a loss to Seton Hall before the season. Hell, I would not have predicted for them to even be close. So, all bets are off for this game. We could play our best game of the season or get blown out.
Probably. And here's why.
1. It's at the Yum Center, which is always a tough environment when UK comes to town.
2. Cats have more talent and depth, but we are playing a soft brand of basketball right now. Don't think we are going to win our first true road game.
3. Mack's Pack-Line Defense. Again, UK has way more talent. But Mack's defense simply doesn't allow much dribble drive. Facing up Reid and PJ is a huge part of our offense at this point. It's worked against our previous opponents for the most part, but when 4 defenders are sagging the interior it's really tough to do. We are going to have to really move the ball around and hit some jump shots.
With that being said, Louisville is a worse offense team than we are. They will have to score too.
Herro has an opportunity for a big game. Our bigs do as well (we have the best frontcourt in college basketball)...if we can get them ball.
It's gonna be an ugly game. In February, I think we probably win. On December 29th at the Yum Center, Louisville probably wins.

We have the best frontcourt in college basketball. As good as those two are, that's not who we need frankly.
However, I'd give my left testicle for Brandon Knight, Tyler Ulis, or SGA.
