Besides DJ Wagner I have no idea who is on Uks team. I guess it doesn't really matter much though.

All we can hope for is that the Cards play hard and that their shots are falling to keep it respectable and not a huge blowout.The lowest of the low points in Louisville history. 15,000 Ky fans in our own arena and a 20-30 point beat down.
They're loaded.Besides DJ Wagner I have no idea who is on Uks team. I guess it doesn't really matter much though.
Pretty sure there will be a significant difference between pepperdine and UKs D.Very unlikely that it’s the one which shot 49% FG and 56% 3PT like this last game. Would be great to see it again two games in a row!
They can beat us as bad as they want to..Pretty sure there will be a significant difference between pepperdine and UKs D.
You could be right, but I believe they should be able to see what is going to happen. The pulse of the fanbase seems to be pretty clear cut right now. I'd love to see us with 10k+ in red, but I just don't see it happening.I get what you’re saying, but the more straightforward viewpoint in my opinion is that it’s a call for all UofL fans to put aside the disappointment with Coach Payne, buy a ticket, show up and wear red.
5 players projected in the NBA draftThey're loaded.
Thanks for the stats. That....doesn't sound good at all for the Cards. If shots aren't falling, the Cards keep making turnovers, etc. the game could turn into a 40 point blowout.This UK team is very, very good.
If you were drafting players from both schools I think you'd probably pick at least 7 UK players before you'd pick anyone from UofL. UK's schedule has been a million % more difficult than UofL's and they've played 1 less game and just Reeves and Shepherd have made as many 3s as UofLs entire team. They're shooting almost 41% from 3 as a team.
They have 4 players with 35+ assists.
We have 1.
Just Ty-Laur, Sky and Tre have almost as many turnovers as their entire team. Again - 1 less game, much better schedule.
We have two players hitting over 45% of their shots.
UK has 7.
UKs 6th man in minutes played is Rob Dillingham. 14 ppg, 4 rpg, 4.5 apg, 46% 3 point shooter
UK - 88
UofL - 67
Shoot, the biggest beat down was in 1987 at Freedom Hall. Rex couldn't miss. Cards lost by 30 something. I recall not even being mad. It was just one of those games where you tip your cap to the other team. They balled out.

Cal notoriously hates zone but I have no clue why anyone would play anything else against this team. They've never shown the ability to run an actual well orchestrated offense.Any chance UK plays zone against the Cards? Do they even need to?
Why? That just makes UK fans think we’re really concerned about the beat down their about to put on us! At this point I would rather no one showed up like we didn’t even know a game was be played! I don’t want to do anything to enhance a UK fans day!I get what you’re saying, but the more straightforward viewpoint in my opinion is that it’s a call for all UofL fans to put aside the disappointment with Coach Payne, buy a ticket, show up and wear red.

UofL is absolutely encouraging UofL fans to buy tickets but as a fan; why would we? As a fan does anyone care if the Yum is filled w/UK fans on Thursday? I’m not.You (and I) may feel that way, but UofL is certainly not going to put out a release to the media saying “please stay away from our home game against UK”. Without a doubt, they are going to encourage ticket sales any way they can. And in encouraging UofL fans to buy tickets and show up, they are also sending that message out to everyone, including UK fans, who will love nothing more than to buy their own tickets and spoil UofL’s “red out”.
I'd say 2-1 blue. Maybe worse.I would wager there will be more blue than red in the arena.
The seats are red. So that's what they're counting on. A lot of empty seats.Is it just me or is the fact that UofL Men's Basketball is advertising a red-out for this game completely tone deaf? I'm probably nitpicking here, but when the crowd at this game will obviously be a hell of a lot more blue than red, why the hell do something that will just call out that fact? Sometimes it seems like we deserve everything that we get. Who the hell decided this was a good idea?
Again, they know UofL fans aren't showing up for this. The seats are already red. Let's make it a red out! It's a trick. Don't fall for it.You (and I) may feel that way, but UofL is certainly not going to put out a release to the media saying “please stay away from our home game against UK”. Without a doubt, they are going to encourage ticket sales any way they can.

On paper maybe but in the real world a beat down by your most hated rival, in front of a crowd that is a majority of their fans in your arena, would be the cherry on top of the shit sundae that Payne has served up.I think it did open around 15😬
Not crazy about that. If the whistles go our way😅 and we make 75% of our 3s😆 we could cover. Lol,I can't remember ever being as relaxed going into this game.
The Cards literally have nothing to lose.
