Cats vs. UNCheat

[gobigblue26]

what are your thoughts? I think it be a fast paced game that we will thrive in... I think we’re starting to slightly turn a corner ... I liked the spacing for shooters today

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

Not scarrrrrred! Looked strong today for the most part. First game all year we limited silly TOs. We can take UNCheat down.

 

[ukfan041]

Should be a battle! Both teams searching for an identity and each has plenty of talent. Will be a close game that goes down to the wire

 

[akaukswoosh]

I expect UNCheat to be favored. Not sure we are ready to beat them this early but believe it will be closer than some think.

 

[UK_fan_41102]

I think UK is going to want it more and will win in a hard fought contest.

 

[wildcatdonf]

I'll be good if we play them close.

I think I will think about it before I let you know what I think.

 

[akaukswoosh]

Rebounding has to be a lot better than we saw tonight.

 

[David Rice]

As long as John Higgins isn't reffing, I like our chances.

 

[TroutBum]

I wish Cal would refuse to play them and let it be known that it’s because of the blatant cheating they have yet to pay for!

He could play them just start 3 players and sit there.

 

[1991greywildcat]

They are playing excellent against Gonzaga right now, Zaga can not handle that pace of play..

 

[UK_fan_41102]

Rebounding has to be a lot better than we saw tonight.

Shooting 58.6% does negate a lot of rebounding opportunities.

 

[UKWildcats#8]

Honestly until this team beats anyone decent I'm not very high on them. I do think green is addition by subtraction and this team will do some good things this season. I'm not sure how high they can get though as far as in the end game. If they beat North Carolina that will show me something

 

[tWildcat]

Hope UNC doesn't shoot like they are right now. Wow.

 

[serdi]

I think we should walk off the floor right after the national anthem and forfeit. Somebody suggested this earlier this week. Make a statement. The ACC schools can't do it. We, The Program, should. The NCAA deserves it.

 

[BBallin23]

North Carolina is going to put a beating on Kentucky. Looking good against the zaggs

 

[bookerfan66]

They are a better team than us at this time IMO.

 

[TNCatfanforever]

I'll be good if we play them close.

At this juncture me too

 

[stoneycat_20]

I'd say the line will be UNCheat -7.....I just don't understand this team..Cal also bought into the Bahamas hype..I remember him thinking the team was peaking too soon..Didn't want them playing like March in Nov...I bet he was as shocked as anyone with that 1st game...
84-75 UNCheat

 

[TheBigBlueSpectacle]

Kentucky isn’t in the same league

 

[Mike-D]

Keep this thread bumped

 

[Kai Slater]

I agree that UNcheaters will put the smack-down on us. It could get very ugly. I know that might hurt many of you superfans out there, but I'm just being realistic. I hope I'm wrong.

 

[SDcatfan13]

Every time I watch UNC play I get a mixture of disgust at how they’re weren’t punished and rage at the NCAA for being corrupt and incompetent.

 

[track42]

My guess is a ten point loss.

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

If our front court shows up we will beat them. Can't believe the negativity still. Yes today wasn't a great opponent, but we only had 6 TOs. That has to be a low this year we had like 15+ against everyone I think, even Monmoth. So to me that is huge. Shooting looks better, guys were more willing to make the extra pass. Noway the cheats blow us out and I honestly think we beat them in a close game.

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

Also we are 8-2 and after the next 2 game we will be 10-2 with 2 quality wins. I would hope after that the negativity around here is gone just in time for the new year. New years resolution for some on here, don't give up on our team and let a tad of sunshine pumperness(Yes I made up a word) into your heart! We are Kentucky!

If UK loses next weekend, BBN will look like this:

LOL, you're right. Gotta believe though. TOs were looking to be our biggest weakness even against bad teams and we cleaned it up today. No Quade LOL. We got out rebounded and didn't shoot many FTs yet we hammered them. I believe this team is getting it and Quade being gone tightens this rotation and maybe gets a guy like Baker some mins. I like what I saw today, bad Utah team or not. I know we have to beat a good team to turn the tide here for most, but I believe. Cheats going down!

 

[Hopmix]

Lol at a fast paced game. We can’t run with them. We don’t have the guards for it. We are substantially better in the front court. Have a chance but playing away.. small chance we take this one but if we do it won’t be by running with them.

 

[Kyfan37]

It might be close in the first half, but I expect Carolina to pull away for about a 15 point win. This team just isn't where they need to be right now.

 

[CatsnRoses]

Realistically, we probably have a ~15% chance of winning. Think the line will open up at UNC -5.5 or so.

 

[anon_q409idbs5m40a]

The NCAA would just set it up so we would so them in the tournament regardless.

 

[anon_q409idbs5m40a]

Every time I watch UNC play I get a mixture of disgust at how they’re weren’t punished and rage at the NCAA for being corrupt and incompetent.

And what's more infuriating is the way that Vitale goes on about their "tradition". It's sickening to hear.

 

[BBUK_anon]

unc played SIXTEEN players? I thought there was some sort of limit on the number of players? I must be wrong... (Not the first time.)

 

[minjo]

Pumperness in encyclopedia of new words dictionary? Why the hell not?:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
I like Pamperless better.

 

[SophiesDad]

I was hoping UNC would have a great performance tonight and beat Gonzaga. Did not want them dropping one at home having lost 3 games coming into the game against us

 

[_ukcat]

I feel we will play well vs UNC but Tar Heels win by 7 to 11 pts.

 

[Tannerdad]

Blowout

 

[FactCheckerUSA]

If UK loses next weekend, BBN will look like this:

Honestly, we overrate these December noncon games. Win or lose, this one game is meaningless in the big picture.

Keep getting better, stay healthy, and try to peak in March/April.
