Get back!!! Sac Cat is going large!! Again.

I urge everyone not to bet. If you do, find out how this guy is going and RUN, not walk, RUN the other direction.

Dangerous to go large on this UK team right now. We haven't played a road game yet and have gotten fat on a bunch of garbage teams at Rupp. Rotation is unsettled as well. The next 3 games will tell you a lot about this bunch.
It’s the kiss of death, the SacKat lock! SMH.

Duke lost to Lehigh and yet, there they were in tournament.

It's college basketball.. really, anyone can lose to anyone else on a given night. It sure wouldn't be great for UK to lose to ND, but we're 7-1.. a loss to notre Dame wouldn't be the end of the world.

I also don't think some 10pt win over ND would tell me much, either.
Duke lost to Lehigh in the tournament

and yeah I think a ND loss could be a stake in our coffin. They suck and after last season we can’t lose anymore crappy games. Even osu will be brutal if we lose. If we can’t smash ND then this season will be a 12 loss deal and possibly miss the tourney. It’s an extremely important game or the apathy will be so great that the program will be on the verge of a major catastrophe. This season has to be far and away better than last year. Beating the deaf and blind does zero for us

Losing to OSU won’t be brutal considering they just beat Duke.

Been down this road too many times. Notre Dame is AFWUL this year, but Cal's teams do not historically do well in their first road games. And, of course, ND is throwing everything they have at this one:

-It's LaPhonso Ellis Day
-Intro the new football coach during the game

Prepare yourselves, Wildcat friends!

I know that.. my point is that any team can lose to any other team. Duke lost, in March, to a low-major that wasn't even particularly "great" in its conference. So losing to ND in early December is hardly as big of a deal.

A stake in our coffin? Were 7-1. Going 7-2 and dropping one to Notre Dame while we get guys back from injury is hardly a death sentence. Chances are, we're gonna lose one of our next few OOC games.

So now that were past complaining about our easy schedule.. fans have to now complain about possibly losing to Notre Dame in a power conference.. when does it end?

Losing to nd would be basically punching out ticket for the NIT. The wins gotta come from somewhere. Lose to ND and we are in line for a 12 loss season.

If the Cats can’t beat ND on the road who can they beat in the SEC on the road.

Seriously this should be a blowout but of course Cal will run clock with 5/6 minutes to go and the margin may fall to single digits.

Won’t be brutal but at some point UK is gonna have to beat someone. And you know how the committee is about non conference games. I also think UK fans need to see the change. Not just listen to cal talk about it. We’ve gotta see it or rupp will be pushing 2/3 capacity all year

I will say this about Keion, he had pretty dang good rebounding numbers per minute last year. He also also has a few easy ones this year which Oscar backed off so we didn't fight each other and lose it(a negative on Brooks numbers this year because those shouldn't have been his)

He just doesn't seem to work as hard for them this year, I think if he did he wouldn't hurt us as much because that could help define his role. Open mid range a few times, work hard around the rim get some boards and easy put backs. Don't try to create

LMAO what is going in with this board. People freaking out about losing to a team we haven’t played yet and claiming a loss would seal our fate in the NIT. We will crush ND and will be in the NCAAT. Even if we somehow lost our first road game of season in a crazy atmosphere at sub-par ND, we are still in the tournament. And will be one of the top 2 teams in the SEC. lighten up Francis.

This team should blow out ND. They are bad but haven’t played at home in almost a month. I look for a rowdy crowd and a close game

I feel like if UK loses to ND then we are definitely not a tournament team.. I don't know if this UK team is as good as their ranking…
We are definitely a tournament team, and likely a 6 seed or better.

The 10th best team in the country? Not right now. Haven’t proven that yet.

This team has motivation now after the storms last night. Cal had them praying on the ND campus.

Should be a nice cover now.

You either have a pile of money that you are dumb enough to lose betting on UK or you're a complete fraud. No way someone just gives away the kind of money you claim to bet on the Cats.

Well, this was my effort to back this dumpster fire. I’m done with the cats again this year. We need a new coach. I should have donated to those needing help in Western KY.
Cal was quick to raise money for Haiti, what's he doing about his own state?

Waiting for the line to be available, but I’ll back these cats large if this line is -3.
This ND squad looks terrible and these cats have shown some fight.

And how did that bet work out for you? Have you learned nothing from the past few years. We can only beat JV teams with all of this talent.
