Great matchup, I think Vandy could be the team to finally get UK at Rupp too.

I would've agreed with you a couple of weeks ago before they played at Ark and Fla. Candy had been a pretty good road team until those games. Actually, they looked more focus on the road than at home. Now I don't think Candy wins either one. If they do, it'll be today. Ky will beat them in Rupp.

We need to play a drinking game tonight. Every time Candy fans boo, we drink. We'll be drunk by the 10 minute mark of the 1st half.

Actually, I just called a friend and we are going to play that game.

My wife is either going to be fired up in the second half or pissed. We shall see.

Earlier in the season back in Dec, I figured Candy would win because of Ky's youth and Candy's experience. Now, I don't know. The key to me will be three matchups.

1. Davis vs. Ezeli. Stokes held his own for the most part against Ezeli when he should've been a high school senior. Davis is a much better player. If Davis plays smart, and he has all year for the most part, he'll get the best of Ezeli. As a sidenote, Ezeli's knees have been bothering him again. That could be big because if he's less than 100% then Davis will have a field day. Ezeli will try to muscle Davis and push him around, but Davis' length and athleticism will give Ezeli some trouble. Even if Ezeli pushes Davis around, Davis is long enough where he can recover.

2. Kidd-Gilchrist vs. Taylor. Taylor has owned just about every matchup in SEC play. No one has been able to contain him for the most part. Kidd-Gilchrist has the athleticism to though. This year it seems as Taylor goes, Candy goes.

3. Goulbourne vs. Jones. I'm assuming this is who gets Goulbourne. He's the X-factor for Candy. He's usually really good or sometimes just exists. He's not as talented as Jones, but Jones goes MIA at times too.

The book on Candy though is to press their guards and get in Tinsley's grill. Look at all of Candy's losses in the 1st round of the tourney and you can attribute it to the other team having more athletic guards. If Ky can pressure Tinsley and disrupt their offensive flow, they'll win in my opinion. Jenkins is going to get his points. The key will be to make Tinsley uncomfortable and to win the three matchups above. Hell, they might not even have to win them, but just hold their own. I think Ky will win two of them at least and win a close game. However, I wouldn't be surprised if they lose, but if they do, it'll be their only SEC loss in my opinion.

I'm most looking forward to the Davis-Ezeli, Taylor-Kidd-Gilchrist matchups. 4 potential NBA players there.

Watch out Ky. This has been upset Sat in the SEC so far.

UGA goes into Starknaked and beats #20 Miss St.

UT goes into Hogtown and beats #8 Fla who hadn't lost at home all year.

Could Candy take Ky down for the trifecta?

Wife comes down decked out and is running to the store for a bottle of wine. Evidently, if it's on the calendar on the kitchen fridge, one doesn't need to verbally communicate that we have a party tonight and I have to be decked out as well.

I will still find the game on somewhere, if its not already on, and I will introduce this "drink when Vandy boos" game to a bunch of people I don't know.

Some guys at this party are going to be offended at such a silly game. I'll find a couple that won't be.

I think I just heard the Candy crowd already booing and the game is still 2 hours away. Start drinking.

Guaranteed to be an upset: I think Kentucky has the nation’s best roster, is the nation’s best team and will win the national championship. Unless Anthony Davis’ arms shrink before Selection Sunday, I’m picking the Wildcats to win it all. Write it down in blood. But John Calipari’s team is going to lose Saturday night at Vanderbilt just like I watched Billy Donovan’s second national championship team at Florida once lose at Vanderbilt. I don’t know how it’s going to happen or why, but it’s going to happen. And then this Kentucky team is never going to lose again. You can write that down in blood too.
