If we win at Rupp will it trump this win? How long has it been since we won there?

We can beat them at Rupp this year. Isn't that Bruce Pearl's first game back from Adolph Slive's 8 game sit out?

Believe so.

I think this team just may be mentally tough enough to go into Rupp and win. Goins will shut down Knight and I know we'll outphysical them. The Jones-Harris matchup is intriguing because Jones is insanely athletic, yet Tobias is so fundamentally sound. They think Liggins can stop Hopson, but I just don't see it if Hopson keeps playing like he is now. They also thought Liggins could stop Kemba Walker and we saw how that turned out. The wild card here is a guy named Doron Lamb. He's been coming on for UK and is a deadly accurate shooter.

Provided we are healthy and Kanter stays ineligible, I think we win handily at TBA and lose a close one at Rupp.

F that...and bring Kanter's gay arse if you want, we'll beat him down too.

Haha. Believe me I hope I'm wrong. I hope the Vols smash them at TBA and Rupp. I just know how hostile Rupp can be.

I hope some people load up and spread a little orange in the place. I was there in last year and in 08. The showing in 08 was much better than last year. I was one of very very few in orange last year.

Perhaps the prison will treat the work release inmates to a ball game, that would help.

I was there in 2009 about eight rows from the top and some Kentucky fan yelled "Hey you boys in orange down 'ere see dem banners in front of ya? Dems Naishnul Champunship banners!" They were retired jerseys....

On a side note, I did enjoy Rupp. Big place and those fans are passionate.

I originally thought UT could beat UK in Rupp this season...I dont see it anymore. UK is clicking a little quicker than UT and with a much younger team.

UK would be a completely different team with Enes. An inside presence is UK's only weakness.

I'd say their biggest weakness is a head coach that sucks at game coaching. The nba-talented players change, but his results continue to come up just short.

The Kanter family released a statement that if the NCAA ruled him eligible for next year instead of this season, that he would stay.

The 11' class along with Kanter, Lamb, Liggins, Miller, is something that makes me gooey on the inside.

I wish they would decide something, one way or the other. I'm getting tired of checking the KSR twitter feeds.

UK went 32-3 last season, won the SEC and SEC tourny..and with all freshmen. The year before they were in the NIT. Cal is a solid coach, you cant coach the kids to shoot well.
