Purdue

[UCalum08]

I don't think nerves will be a issue. Reality is I think the Kids are playing for a chance to play KY. The last 4 games of the season had to be more nerve wrecking then playing Purdue in RD 1.

I agree but also knowing there won't be another game after tonight if you lose can change emotions. Its a lot of pressure for 19 year olds.

Certainly is!

I also think we have to be able to score in transition. We gotta get some "easy" buckets.

I have a brother in icu in UK Hospital of all places. Don't know how much of the game I will get to see. Cheer 'em to victory for me guys.

Best of luck to your brother, buddy. I hope all goes well.

Anyone know who/what conference the refs are for our game?

ESPN has UC -2 now...what is going on?? Haha this is a big, quick swing. I thought Purdue was -2 literally yesterday.

Maybe the sharps in Vegas have been waiting to bet on UC.

That's definitely what it sounds like. Way too big of a late swing to be anything else.

This could be a terrific day in Bearcat basketball. SK signs with the wolves and the Cats knock off Purdue.

UK fan calls Cronin over before UC exits. Says "Just wanted to let you know I hate Ted Valentine too."

Really think this game will come down to who gets the little things done. FT's, rebounds,and who Takes care of the ball. Also our bigs need to stay out of foul trouble.We can't make a bunch of unforced errors. Both teams are very deliberate and the one who executes the best will win.

If it's the same refs that did first game, which I assume would be the case, it's at least two guys that regularly do uc games and suck. I doubt they have four sets of refs here. Could help in the sense they'll let us play aggressive but could hurt because they know what to look for against us.

I never pay attention to game lines, but I'm not surprised at all if it shifted from a Purdue favorite to a UC favorite. Purdue should have never been a favorite against us.

That gets worse every time I see it.

I love when you see Cronin say, "That's bullsh*t and you know it."

 

[cincrulz11]

That gets worse every time I see it.

best part is the announcers saying how great of a job teddy did, instead of the "teddy way out of line here stepping up on cronin" like they should have.

 

[UCalum08]

The refs tonight are Mike Stuart, Gerry Pollard, Earl Walton. Alternate is Judy Macleod. I'm not sure what conference they are with.
