January 26th is a day most Cats fans will never forget. A loss. The one and only. At Columbia, South Carolina the cats got cocky[ no pun intended] , or played poorly and the Gamecocks pounced. Devon Downey, the only non Kentucky player talked about in the SEC player of the year conversation, dropped 30 points points on the cats. His percentage was terrible, but some of the shots he made where incredible. To make matters worse, the USC student government sent UK a rude letter saying how their mascot was terrible, and how they dominate us in sports (0-3) last three games in basketball, and (0- 12) in football. I'd like to see the all time statistic for basketball, and the football game game this year the Cats lost by two because of a botched face mask call with time expiring.
February 25th, Thursday is being called the revenge game on campus. The Cocks come to Rupp. Kentucky played two close games last week vs ranked opponents, and played pretty well. DeMarcus Cousins, who was the only ray of hope in the first USC game [27 points, 12 rebounds, 3 blocks] has been the only one "slumping". John Wall and especially Patrick Patterson have been brilliant. On paper this game seems lop sided. In real life, it will be more so. I think we will win by 30. The crowd of 24000 will be vicious, and the players will be out for blood. I'm sorry Mr. Downey, you and your school are about to get your asses kicked by 3+ NBA stars in front of 24000 on national tv.
Good luck with that.
