Bunch of sissies on here. Bring those cheating jackasses on.
Cats vs. UNCheat

It's a big deal for our seeding.
Not really. The committee seems to reward teams just for playing big games like this.
The regular season win where Monk torched the nets in Vegas was amazing to watch. Yet UNC lost that game and they still got a #1 seed in the 2017 NCAA tourney.
I think this game is a big deal for fans. But, barring a blowout, I don't think either team will be penalized for a loss by the tournament committee.
I just don’t see a better roster than ours. I expect a UK win on Saturday.
UNC also got beat by Texas (who has losses to Hampton and VCU at home) and blown out by Michigan.
We shouldn’t even make the trip. Call it off and let the guys get a couple more days for Christmas.
Pathetic
If both teams play their A game, Kentucky wins. The Cats haven't played their A game yet. They are getting closer. The phony Cheats did yesterday. We'll see who does Saturday.
UK has lost to Duke by 34. Duke lost to Gonzaga and UNC beat Gonzaga. See how the transitive properties of sports work.
I still believe UK will play tough and come out with a win.
UNC just beat Gonzaga who beat Duke, who beat us by 34. That said, I look for a close game. I just don't have faith in these guys and Cal at present...with the fall in recruiting and losing to a mediocre Seton Hall team and Duke by 34...we have lost it a bit of late. Winning this game would bring a lot of fans back, including me, to believing this team is improving. The Seton Hall lost is going to hurt at seeding time though...bad loss.
If we play North Carolina in March, we would have a good chance to beat them. Beating them next week isn't out of the question, but we have more to prove as a team right now than they do. A lot of problems will have to be corrected in 1 week. I don't think for 1 second that beating Utah in RA means much. It is shocking to see how far Utah has fallen. NC will put pressure on our shaky defense that a team like Utah can't. This will be a good gauge for where this team's present development stands, and how far Hagans and Montgomery have come.
First I am ashamed of our team and program for agreeing to play scum programs like The Filth. I would fully support a forfeit in protest that this abomination is allowed to take the floor. They simply lack the standing to play. It is beneath us.
That said, if we go in with rested legs, we have a shot. If not they will run us into the ground.

UNC also plays in the ACC which is always weighed heavily when it comes to seeding compared to UK playing in the SEC. Usually, I’m on your side but considering the blowout loss to Duke already, that horrendous loss to Seton Hall, UK is running out of chances to get quality wins on their resume. If this team really wants to have a legitimate shot at making a run in the tournament, these next 3 games are very important. Lose 2 out of 3 or all 3 to UNC, UL, and Bama and you’re probably looking at another double digit loss season and a bad seed line in the NCAA tourney
I see a lot of weaknesses at UNC that can be exploited. Good chance we can win. They are vulnerable.

Just play good, hard, sound defense and slow the tempo. UNC doesn’t thrive in a half court game. Gonzaga didn’t bother to show up yesterday and played matador defense making UNC appear like the Lakers from the 80’s. This game is winnable.
If you think sports is transitive, you are missing the definition of transitive by a mile.
Sports is not transitive. My sarcasm didn't show through my posting
no its not meaningless. This would be a quality win against a good team, something our resume desperately needs. Trying to peak in March is much easier as a 1 or 2 seed than a 5 or 6. It would probably be the difference in us playing the second Saturday or Sunday of the tournament.
Why people keep pushing this idea December games are meaningless I don't know. I guess it makes the idea of watching bad basketball in December palatable ,
Gonzaga was banged up when they beat dook.
Their top injured player has been out the whole season.
Based on the fact that Duke beat the hell out of us and then lost 2 Gonzaga . Gonzaga then lost to North Carolina. I don't like our chances Saturday especially knowing that North Carolina can cheat all they want and they have the refs on their side.
At this point, how our defense is I see a loss even though I wish differently.

Me to. I think we can win, but as long as we’re close it will be a step forward.
Gonzaga only plays 7 guys in their rotation right now. It's a lot easier to foul a guy out of a short rotation.
Looking at the box score, the fouls were about even between the two teams. Both of UNCheat's starting big men ended up with 4 fouls apiece.
It's a must win. Biggest game for us since Wis Final 4 2015
Cats 86-80
We gotta have we better WIN

I’ll be shocked if we lose by less than 10. That’s just my honest opinion. We are an average team right now.
The most important element of this game is 3 point shooting. UNC's 3 point defense seems to give up a lot of wide open 3 pointers and their 3 point shooting seems very streaky. The few minutes I saw them play against Michigan, they couldn't hit anything and gave up everything. The opposite was true against Gonzaga. Tyler and Keldon have to be hitting shots.
