I am as big fan of UK as they come but I just don't see us beating UNC cheaters at this time. We just don't look like we belong in the same gym with them. Hope I am wrong and we can win.
Cats vs. UNCheat

I don't see how our resume is so awful and UNC's is impressive. They have a better win, for sure, in Gonzaga.. but who else? They still lost to Michigan and Texas. UCLA? Meh, no longer a top40 team.
I think UNC will still have the egde, but not by much. And although it's a small sample size, Kentucky looks to be better off with out Green.

I think Seton hall is rated in the 60's? If so, that is not that bad of a loss. Not saying EVER losing to SH is a good thing...
Certainly not meaningless.
These non-conf Dec games go a long way towards tournament seeding, and Kentucky needs a resume win.
Making a tournament run gets significantly more difficult when you are a 6-9 seed, which we will very much be in danger of if we don't have enough quality wins on our resume.
They have 2 top 50 KenPom wins in Gonzaga and UCLA.
Our best win is against #99 UNC-G.
I wouldn't call their resume impressive, but ours needs a major boost.
We can beat North Carolina. Will take our absolute best effort up to this point, obviously. We desperately need a big win. Definitely need a solid showing. Another solid loss and I don't know if our teams' psyche can overcome it big picture.
I think Kentucky has to win this game to be in the running for a 1-seed. Because we are going to take a few losses in conference play, still have Kansas. So yes, if we want a 1-seed we almost have to win this game.
It's certainly better for sure. But like always, the media likes to downplay everything we do and prop up UNC.
Remember in the bahamas when we were supposed to literally get punched in the mouth by the physical team in pink (same team that went out and smacked Michigan a week later)? I think we dominate the cheaters just like we did that team. Time to put it together and kick some ***.....
Our best win has not happened yet.
Maybe we can have our best win against the cheats.
I can always hope. Let's GO CATS.
We can try and kid ourselves all we want, but it’s an important game Saturday. Not just because it would be a resume building win, but, I for one, am starting to get a little embarrassed by losing to the other Bluebloods of late.

I am a former soccer player, If we need to kick ***, send them over, I can still kick *** at age 81. (I think):stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
That only means any team that is good, can win at any night against any team.
This.
Hagans has to play within himself. If he gets baited into sprinting out of control, up and down the floor in the first 5-10 minutes of the game as he did against Duke, then we could find ourselves down 15 early again.
Break the press when they pressure, Set the offense and make their defense work for an entire possession, get back on D to prevent their transition. That is always the gameplan against a Roy coached team. Very rarely do you have the type of team to out transition them; we did with Wall.

Just curious, but when is the last time we beat another top program? UCLA a couple of years ago?

Didn't we beat UCLA in the tournament a few months later after they had beaten us at Rupp early in the season?
