Will Loserville be favored in Rupp?

[kuhlkat]

And should they be? If our guys have any pride they will give maximum effort like we haven’t seen all year...for the whole 40 minutes. The crowd better bring it too...for the whole 40 minutes.

 

[*Bleedingblue*]

Id say yes. By 2-3

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

Maybe and probably should be since we will probably be ranked 18th or worse. But if we play like we did and get a decent whistle we will handle them. It would be nice if a few guys could pitch in to help Ashton and Nate.

 

[StubbornPenny]

Yes. 5 points id say

 

[Emarc]

I’m down on em right now, but we will beat UaL in Rupp

 

[bookerfan66]

They should be.

 

[musrat59]

If we don't beat Louisville, it could be a long year.

 

[E'Ville Cat]

Didn’t OSU curb stomp UL in an unofficial preseason scrimmage? I think Cat’s will handle the Cards in Rupp.

 

[bluekid]

I'll say it will be a pick or UK -1

 

[Cat in ga]

Don’t care whose favored, just beat them down as usual and hopefully get our mojo right.

 

[gobigblue812_rivals29381]

Is the game sold out yet?

 

[Cardinals19703]

Didn’t OSU curb stomp UL in an unofficial preseason scrimmage? I think Cat’s will handle the Cards in Rupp.

I guess it depends on what you consider a curb stomp but OSU won by 11. Louisville did have two players out but other than that there are no stats for the game.

 

[STL_Cat]

It would be shocking if they aren’t favored. That being said, and even with as down as I’ve been on this group, I think we beat Louisville. Because that’s what we do.

 

[keefsopeng]

Have to remember the spread is not Vegas predicting the game it’s them setting a number to get equal action on both sides so they can collect the vig without exposing themselves too much. UK is already a heavy action team they aren’t going to give UK points at home and if they do it’d be like .5-1. I’ll say it’s UK -1.5

 

[JasonS.]

Pick ‘em or we’re a slight favorite.

 

[Ben101er]

They will give 3-4 pts for home court, so I’m guessing UofL -1.5.

 

[Catzman]

The UK team that played last night eats UL for lunch. The UK team that played Utah loses by halftime.

Technically, you are correct. However, if they consistently pick wrong numbers, they loose huge $$$. History shows that they are amazingly accurate in setting the odds which in and of itself, is a prediction

 

[derG-punkt-]

UL has no real PG and their backcourt is very suspect in general. As miserable as the last 2 games have made fans, this should actually be a game where we have a solid advantage. Hagans should be able to feast on steals in this one. Maxey and Quickley should have an easier time as well, particularly scoring. They should be able to beat there man constantly in this matchup. Sutton and Nwora are the matchups that are to their advantage. But I like our chances.

Exactly

Depends on who shows.

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

They probably be favored by a couple, but I feel we win the game.

 

[Mojocat_rivals48469]

Sagarin has UK as a 1 point favorite. It’ll be close to that.

 

[CatCrazyChuk]

UL +4.5

 

[anon_ddojbbh8q7xrt]

Yes

 

[Backer cutter]

No one dislikes UL more than me. But realistically they probably will and should be favored. Last few games tell the tale. I’m hoping for a win, but really not expecting it to be honest. I also wonder if it’s a sellout?

 

[Anon1636470744]

As bad as the Cats have looked they are still UK and the Cards are still U of L.
They are used to getting beat and Cats are used to winning.
Cats will be favored by 2 and win by 5.

 

[fadkins82476]

An 11-1 4th or 5th ranked U6 team will absolutely be favored. If you think otherwise, take off your blue-tinted goggles.

 

[tmuck]

Hope they are. Just more motivation for our guys, as if a 2 game losing streak wasn't enough.

 

[Lovebaskelball]

Probably a pick em game. I believe the Cats will get the W.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Sagarin and Kenpom both have UL a 1 point favorite.
It'll prob be close to that.

 

[westerncat]

I have been watching UK going on 50 years and I don't see us beating UL this year.UK is so weak inside and that is where UL is strongest. Hope I am wrong because I hate UL worse than anyone on this board. I am praying we beat those dirty birds but it is going to take a miracle to get it done.

 

[true-blue1]

Id say yes. By 2-3

5

perfect set up for us....we won't lose three in a row at this time...tards have to be shittin their boots..all hope to beat us at rupp went out the window with the loss to OU...no way do we lose to McMahon the dixie hwy car salesman of the week, or Nwora the jock collector of the d league, or Enoch the future night shift grilly at your local waffle house, not to mention those other furtue midnight to morning whitecastle drunk servers only cause Kroger is not 24/7 on third street anymore......beatdown is a coming..

IMO, yes (I'll probably get bashed by the Cal Super fans). Should they be? That ones a little tougher because of home court advantage. I know people love bashing the Blue Hairs at Rupp but Rupp Arena WILL be rocking for this one.

I think that car salesman was Mcmackin. They had some nice cars back in the 70s and 80s . But I agree we are not losing to Louisville.

 

[bleedingblue2767]

Louisville 2-3 point favorites and Louisville will win by at least 7-10 points. This team has just not gelled yet. I hate the fact we have two bigs (Montgomery and Richards) who are just completely lost. I hope that Sestina gets the start.

 

[kyjeff1]

I feel pretty good about the UL game. I think UL is a bit overrated and I'm not saying that because it's UL.

I think their backcourt is suspect, they can shoot, but they are FAR from elite.

I like Enoch down low, he's a beast, but K. Wesson is far better and we did a decent job on him.

Nwora is damn good, but the way they are set up, if you shut him down (Texas Tech did), UL us a sitting duck.

Also, we have two things going for us. We're at home and we're very desperate.

I think UK takes this one by 8. If it was at the Yum, they win by 8.
