Prediction thread

[DJD]

One more thing I have to add....I hope the refs don't call a bunch of ticky tack bullcrap fouls on either side to put the best players on the bench early in the first half like they did with Davis and Zoeller in the IU game....If it's a foul that impedes a player or changes the outcome of the play, call it....If not, don't call a stupid handcheck at halfcourt with 30 seconds left on the shot clock on Siva or Teague...I watch the games to see the best players from BOTH teams compete at a high level

Amen to that!!!! My gut tells me they will try and set the tone of the game early and call some of those crap calls. Especially with the hype of these two teams playing eachother.

Look here fella's...you all know I don't know squat about sports....but reading this dag gone thread done got me fired up! Reading this thread has been somewhat like reading the Program on Derby Day for me...here I am, loving the Cards, but at the same time I'm from Kentucky so I always want to see Kentucky win....heck fella's...all of us are winners right now! This has got to the one most exciting match up in the history of the NCAA Final Four match ups.

Wonder if they'll sing My Old Kentucky Home prior to the game? LOL...Probably not...that would be rubbing it in the noses of the rest of the NCAA colleges wouldn't it?

Oh yea...I'm watching this game for sure!

Question to you all...where or who are you gonna watch the game with? Are you gonna go to someone's house where there's nothing but Card fans...or someone's house where there's nothing but Cat fans...or you gonna go to a crowded pub where there's a mix or are you gonna stay home in your man cave and watch it alone cause you already know how intense you're gonna be about the game?

I've learned that if I watch it with a crowd of people someone will get offended by my language or choice of words and something will probably get broke....I generally choose to stay home and watch them but I think I may actually go to a friends house which will be a mix of UK fans and people that don't know any better

[DJD]

I'll be watching it with 10 friends along with a cookout, drinking and cornhole. Should be a good time. I wish I had a card t-shirt just to start some crap. Lol

[redneckshadrap]

There's no way this will be a slow paced game. Could be another UK IU score.

Cats by 12...

Siva and Behennan foul out.
Jones fouls out
Miller scores 17
Kuric hits 5 3's
Jingaling(deing) has a doulble double...SO does Davis and MKG
Lamm scores 23
Teague have 13pts and 7 assists
Wilcher hits 3 3's
Swoopshire continues to remind of as Wickwire on GI Jane...
Vargus plays one minute....Gets his traditional 1 board followed by an immediate foul
The Smiths launch a combined 15 missed 3's


Pitino and Cal smile, shake hands. and utter a jaw clenched f u bomb to each other when it;s over.

And I will pass out and go to bed..

I'll send you one, you and I are about the same size anyway, it's an XL.

Now Don it does have sleeves to......So.....

[mhall]

Going be watching it at UK fans house but we have been pal's for many years. Hell we played grade school basketball together is how far it goes back. Will be about 15 people or so, some Card and Cat fans mixed throughout. If it gets ugly I will go outside and throw cornhole and drink copious amounts of beer and my lovely wife will drive my ass home.

At Billy, LMAO. I hate Swopshire, I've got scrotum skin tougher than that girl. That has to be the softest player in ALL of sports. Miley Cirus could kick his ass, lol...

[psprowler]

Will have to depend on the ESPN app to keep me updated. Wife and I are cashing in our valentine's day gifts. If I would have known these two teams would be playing ahead of time..........we'd still be going out Saturday night.

I'll take Kentucky +8.5.

Kentucky Lake, driving down Saturday for the first of 22 days on the water during April.

One thing I don't think either side can deny, they're the last 2 guys in the tournament that can come close to staying in front of the other one on D....Both guys are lightening quick and I'm looking forward to seeing them play each other

A big AMEN, I totally agree..

Earlier in the year there were Louisville fans calling for Siva's head on a platter. Agree that this is the closest position on the floor in regards to talent but Teague is the better player, not by much, but better. Siva still has the tendency to drive and try to make something happen and it gets him in trouble. In the tourney the overall numbers are close with Teague scoring 58 with 21 dimes and 11 turnovers verses Siva scoring 36 with 28 dimes and 12 turnover. Teague more scoring, Siva more assist, turnovers a wash. The difference I see is Siva has had 3 years versus Teague's 38 games but that is 24 more games than the first meeting and Teague has improved tremendously over the last half of the season

I wasn't calling for Siva's head, but I also knew he wasn't healthy for much of the season and was playing at 80% on a bum ankle. Matter of fact, I was on here defending Siva most of the season. IMO Siva is better than teague because he can do more! Here is a good way to judge them. Switch teams and see what happens. IMO no way Teague could have the season that Siva has if the shoe was on the other foot.

There is one other player on the floor that I would take. I would take Behannan over T. Jones every day and twice on Sunday. Behannan has better hops, is stronger and mentally he is far superior.
