Quiet before the Storm
You know BIG BLUE NATION the Hosscat20 has been talking with a few UK fans and we seem to be overly confident about the U of L game. It is a big rivalry which means it can go either way. The ville has more players coming off the bench then we do. More upper class men in their starting rotation then we do. On the other hand, we have played a tougher schedule thus far. We definitely have played in a hostile environment before, so the Yum Center shouldn't bother us at all. And they don't have anyone to guard Terrance Jones. But for the most part, most fans, UK and U of L are not saying a whole lot. Sure we are all optimistic about our teams, but most fans are not really sure about the outcome. I know the best team tomorrow will control the boards. Ball control will be the key to success for either team. I also believe free throw shooting will be very important in the outcome because this game will be close. Whoever makes their free throws will have the best chance at winning the game. Oh yeah! I read a comment on the LHL website about Rick Pitino that made me understand why everyone hates Kentucky fans. A guy said that Coach Pitino told his players to basically start a fight with the UK players last year just to shake up our super freshmen class. No doubt, Pitino told them to be aggressive with them and he probably told them to get under Cousins skin to get him off his game, maybe even thrown out of the the game. So what! Sounds like good coaching to me. You don't think Coach Cal would have done the same thing if he had to defend a Demarcus Cousins?! Please, If you paid attention to the game at all, our players where running their mouths just as much as the U of L player. Plus, we all watched Cousins last year. He was a hot head!! If a person could not see that then that person has selective sight, that is he see what he wants to see and ignores what he doesn't want to see. I watched every game UK played last year and I know that most teams did not have to bring a fight to Demarcus Cousins because he was going to bring the fight to them. As for the few over confident fans who believe we gonna beat the ville by 20. Do the Hosscat20 a big favor and make sure you don't bet that, please. I know everyone is trying to rebound after Christmas. I know my finances are not good enough to be making dumb bets right now. Go Big Blue!
