Louisville -2 Kentucky
The 22nd-ranked Cardinals (11-1) host the 11th-ranked Wildcats (10-2) at their new downtown arena, KFC Yum Center for the first time. Last year, the Wildcats won at home 71-62 in a bruising game that nearly got out of control from the refs. There were 51 fouls, five technicals, one ill-intentioned elbow from Kentucky’s DeMarcus Cousins at Louisville forward Jared Swopshire’s head. There was also the usual vitriol saved for Pitino whenever he returns to the campus where he won his only national championship.
This year, I exspect a completely different game, more of a scorer's game. It will still be a a frenzied and hectic game played at a fast pace. Neither team is really deep. The Wildcats only dress 10 players and rely heavily on a six-man rotation. The Cardinals have 10 players averaging at least 11 minutes a game, though their bench took a major hit on Thursday when sophomore forward Rakeem Buckles fractured a finger during practice. He’ll miss at least two weeks, leaving Louisville without it’s leading rebounder. This really hurts the Cardinals as we saw last month in the Maui Invitational when UConn beat the Wildcats, that being physical and dominating the boards is a major key to winning againt Kentucky. Even though they have lost Buckles I still feel they will try and dominate the glass today by gang rebounding. I also see Louisville forcing the tempo that they want, rather than the tempo that Kentucky wants to play at. Louisville is a blue-collar, no-ego team that works hard and will come at you in waves. The Cards were the only ones this season that were able to speed up Butler and make the steady Bulldogs play at the Louisville pace. They take and make a lot of 3-point shots, but are especially proficient inside the arc, where they make more than 56 percent of their shots. Louisville forces a ton of turnovers, and defensive pressure has been an issue for Kentucky. Against UConn, the Wildcats coughed the ball up, but also took a lot of quick and questionable shots. Something to watch for will be how many quick, bad shots Louisville can force Kentucky into. The Wildcats are more talented at most every position and are more explosive offensively. The Cardinals do not have a frontcourt player as talented as Terrence Jones, a backcourt player as talented at Brandon Knight, or a shooter as proficient as Doron Lamb. Kentucky doesn't usually turn the ball over much, but they have not played a team that will turn the game into the chaotic full-court affair that Louisville will. If the Cats play at the Cardinals' pace and take quick shots, Louisville will give them a hard time and this game has a chance to be a blowout. Kentucky's biggest problem is youth. The Wildcats are very young, and play young against teams that can bring heat and take the young Cats out of their rhythm. With the same level of experience, Kentucky would be the favorite against the Cardinals. The Wildcats will get better and better, but they are not old enough or mature enough to get it done in this one. It is not just Louisville's press that will bother the young Cats, it is Rick Pitino changing defenses. Louisville will even change defenses in the middle of a possession.
I see the Cardinals winning by 7-10 points.
As always, 
GL to everyone and let's get that loot!!!!
We are all here to try and make money...and I could care less where someone gets their info but I will admit I usually take a poster more serious if he has done some research and provided some info or facts to back up his picks rather than the old list the play and that is it....any moron can do that. So I always try and provide info to why I am playing something. I just don't understand why people want to attack anyone or any of their posts....what satisfaction do you get from that? Is it enjoyable to attack someone or their post???
