Thoughts on Kentucky

I have NO reason to believe we can scheme effectively and execute live action to beat Kentucky in Rupp....Now...I hope like the dickens we can...But....judging from what we've seen there's no reason to be confident of that...As much as I like our coach personally he just hasn't shown he can consistently do that...I'm afraid he's starting to fall into the Buzz Peterson box...Great guy...just not an upper level collegiate coach...again...hope I'm wrong...
 
It's gonna be heartbreak, kid

What's the W/L record for each playing UK?

Cuonzo is 1-3. Gotta say though, 2 of those losses were to national title winners who lost like twice that year.

Pearl wasn't much, if at all better. I think he had a losing record to UK and each coach while they were at UK.

Pearl was 4-9 against Kentucky.
 
We definitely have a chance, but again our fans just expect us to roll over and give in. As a logical fan I know winning at Rupp is a task but to say we get blown out and whatever is crazy.

Well, since our fans have already decided how the rest of this season will play out, why should we expect any different mindset for this game?
 
If it ain't for horse racin' or bourbon sippin', I'd prefer to not step foot in that hole of a "state"
 
Hoping for a Vol win on CBS -- also hoping they dont play like zombies like last Saturday
 
1-2 vs Cal at UK
3-7 vs Gillespie??

So pretty much the same as Cuonzo this far.

2-2 against Tubby Smith.
1-3 against Gillespie.
1-4 against Cal.

The worst was Gillespie's second year. UK didn't even make the NCAAT that year and not only swept the Vols but embarrassed them in both games.

Couldn't remember if tubby was there in the beginning. Thanks.

And I messed up Cal's record too. Forgot about getting swept in pearls last year.
 
Randle was not with them last time. I've seen him several times this year. He's a beast in the paint. He's averaging almost 9 FT a game. From what I've seen is either you foul him or move out of the way. He will get all the calls at Rupp. I'm guessing 12-15 FT attempts from him this game. Stokes and Maymon will be in foul trouble just as every bigs that Randle has went up against this year, imo.

Look to see Ndaiye get early minutes if this happens. If it does it might mean CCM knows he has a problem with Randle & Stein. Not sure Ndiaye is the solution other than giving 5 fouls and what defense he can provide.
