Harrison twins trying to get theirs today to no avail.

UK 7 of 20 FG, UL 5-21. Combined 2 for 10 from three. Cats [10] TOs, Cards 4. Kentucky dominating glass 19-10 (7 offensive boards).

[jbcarol]

Game is a time capsule view of why 90's college basketball was superior.

[jbcarol]

UofL doing a good job of forcing UK to work out of the half court sets and run deep in the shot clock.

[Buff]

I wish we could play at a level like this consistently.

Before anyone who lacks comprehension chimes in with "we beat Kentucky twice last year", I want to remind them that by "consistently" I mean doing that and also managing to get into the NCAA tournament and win a game.

These programs are burning furniture in protest if they don't make the Sweet 16 every year.

Trying to score inside, for either team, is like trying to jam a basketball through a paper shredder.

[jbcarol]

Halftime at Yum!

Kentucky 22  UofL 18

[jbcarol]

Lyles led UK with 6 points on three mid range jumpers followed by a host of players with two or three.

[jbcarol]

Rozier and Harrell combined for 11 to lead the Dirty Cards.

[jbcarol]

Kyle Tucker @KyleTucker_CJ  ·  24 seconds ago
Likely both sides feeling good all things considered. UK to be up with 10 first-half turnovers, UL to be close without a hint of offense.

HALFTIME: No. 1 Kentucky 22, No. 4 Louisville 18. It's a slobberknocker. Cats shooting 37%, Cards 21.4%, but UK 10 TOs to UL's 4.

[Dr. Starcs]

First one to 40 wins.

Sad state of affairs when we have college football scores higher than basketball.

Case in point, halftime four weeks ago at Papa John's:  UK 20  UofL 21

80's and 90's were both superior. The NBA and AAU have ruined the game i use to love

Raise your hand if you had Trey Lyles being UK's star so far. Freshman has 6 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, leads all with 18 mins.


Pitino: Do let Lyles beat you.

It was a different time.  It was a better time.

Scalper tells me this toughest ticket in years. No sellers. Says $200 for upper arena.

[jbcarol]

UofL making UK run deep in shot clock again.

[Dr. Starcs]

Referees have helped ruin things.

[jbcarol]

UK cannot buy an offensive rebound.

You win, that's funny.

You win, that's funny.

I hear you about getting consistent intensity in the big games and conference games, especially on the road.
