Keys to pulling off the upset

[Dawgology]

We're going to lose by a lot...I just hope it doesn't mess with this young teams mentality because they are still good with a bright future. IF we had a better inside presence and knew how to rebound then I would say (if our 3's fell right) we would stand a chance. An unbalanced team like ours really doesn't stand a chance in beating UK.

Nothing to lose. Our young guns will not be intimated, but the UK machine may be by a hostile HUMP crowd. May be the first sellout since Stans.

The biggest concern from a game perspective is who will guard Monk? In addition, EJ Hatcher may be injured, which hurts our post depth badly.

If we had Ado, I would feel more optimistic, but we have surprised many people so far 4 games into the SEC. Bama game was a wakeup call, the rest the team has been on a mission. I think our team is truly playing team ball and love the feeling they are experiencing with new founded support and winning. I think initially they were surprised by the crowd at The Hump and placed too much pressure on themselves before they finally started playing, as they should.

This game will go a far way in the development of our team. Win or lose.

What does the basketball team have to do to take down the fightin cals?
2 weeks ago I would've said we had no shot to take down Kentucky. Now I feel as excited as did in 2010 when John wall and cousins came to the Hump. I knew it would tough but that we had a chance.
I think KY's defense is suspect and they are young. If we can get the Hump rocking it could go a long way in rattling them. If we can get hot from 3 all bets are off. What do y'all think our chances are?

Our chances are slim, very slim. They have to have a REALLY bad game and everything has to go extremely right for us.

[confucius say]

Have not watched ky play a while game. Will reserve judgment until I see that, but I think we have a better chance to beat them than our women to beat uconn.

I'm just excited to be excited about basketball again. I wish I could make it tomorrow night.

You guys have been so right so far with your predictions....

[MarketingBully]

Kentucky shot 11.1% from 3 and only outrebounded vandy by 6. If those 2 things happen, we have a shot

Yep. That can happen especially for a young team on the road. I think our shot will be on simply because we usually don't have two terrible shooting games in a row.

Have a trainer sneak into their lockerroom and put spike their gatorade with a fast acting super laxative.

[3rdGen]

We really have to shoot the absolute lights out from 3 and hit about 14-16 of those and they would have to shoot about 10%. Then we need to shoot about 85% from the line and be +8 or so in the turnover department.

So do we take the golden state approach and just shoot threes all game? Problem is we have to hit them.
