UNC opens at -4.5 tomorrow
- Thread starter CatsnRoses
- Start date
Surprised it's that close, I was expecting around 7.
My initial guess was 5.5 a week ago. I think it'll probably close at that number once the public money comes in on UNC. May even get up to 6.
They can take those points and shove them right up their rectums. Kentucky wins straight up!
UK 93
UNC 78
Considering how the year has gone for us so far, that is actually pretty fair and respectable, in my opinion.
If we stay within 10 it will be a moral victory
Think we've had more than our fair share of moral victories these last few years. Remember the loss against Kansas last year when our players were chest thumping about losing a close game because "everyone said it would be a blowout?" Stuff makes me sick.
Not at all! We are UK! Moral victories do not happen here.
We can beat UNC if we play D as good or better than last game and shoot the ball with some consistency. They are a good team, but they are very beatable.
We cannot afford a lot of turnovers and long bouts of not scoring the ball. And we obviously cannot give them a lot of open or good looks at 3 or let them run in transition the whole gane. If we can manage these things, I like our chances.
LOL for real....the greatest program in college b-ball doesn’t live for moral victories. Sack it up, you either lose or win.
Ain’t no participation trophies around these parts.
I actually think that’s a little much. Guess we’ll find out tomorrow.
LOL I think you, and a lot of other people, are in for a surprise tomorrow. Unbelievable how weak minded some of our fans are (several of y'all are under investigation of even being real fans). Some of you act like we are some second rate program. Bunch of betas. Grow a pair.
KenPom has em by 4. I think they cover. Dumping a hunk of coin on the money line until this team proves to me they can beat a good team.
Good luck tomorrow. Hope you guys see the full "Whine-and-Cheese" crowd experience.

FFFFFiiinnn moral victories. You either WIN or lose. When you lose, there is a loss, not a moral victory. Pitno had a moral victory with Sypher, even though it was only 15 seconds.
Show me a coach who says he won a moral victory, and I'll show you a loser.
OLD STOLL FIELD GUY!
*****....
TankedCat, Kentucky wins easily Saturday.
Bet the money line and put every dime you can get your hands on the Cats!
You’ll thank me around 7:30 Saturday Night.
If you do I hope you immediately get shot.
Nothing personal, but we don’t rush the court under any circumstances.
Cmon man, why embellish and exaggerate? Nobody was “chest thumping”
Secondly, it actually ... as in literally “made you sick?”
Edit- just want to reiterate as I probably look like a dick. I’m not. I truly do believe you love UK basketball (not that you need my approval) but you set YOURSELF up for misery and anger dude.
By saying things like “they were chest pumping “ after the loss to Kansas... as if our guys were thumping their cheats/ smiling and super happy about “ keeping it close” when it was probably more like “damn yeah we lost, i hate losing it sucks but We gave it our all and kept it a lot closer than many predicted”
Now; in no way is that advocating “moral victories” it’s just... literaly how it happened.
When you exaggerate and embellish these stories not only does it set a bad precedent for yourself but other fans as well. It’s Fake News.

Well I have seen little the last two years to prove you right. We can’t beat the bluebloods lately, that fact can’t be disputed.
Yes. I officially started early today. It’s the Holiday season. Actually, every Friday is Holiday season for me.
I’ve thought about quitting, but I’m not a quitter.
I'd rather rush the court after every win than be the lame *** boring fans we tend to be at rupp.
At some point you have to put the good of the university over the pride of old age..... Gotta do something exciting to get younger generations to buy in because if the student section shows you guys anything.... the kids are finding rupp boring

Actually, the students rarely show up, so they’re pretty boring themselves.
They’re too busy facebooking, taking selfies, or protesting Capitalism.
I was expecting 10+ and think it will be that, like I said in another thread.
This team has a loooooooooong way to go and imo they won't match up well with uncheat.
I'd bet against that. Pete probably already has his bet placed.
