Author Topic: How Calipari "hacked" basketball catmandoo Player Member # 1284 posted 12-21-2014 07:01 PM                     Saturday at 2 PM is going to be huge. A clear pattern is emerging with Kentucky, isn't it? For one thing, venue doesn't matter. Arguably the Wildcats' two "worst" games (ha), against Buffalo and Columbia, both occurred at home. Conversely, in neutral-site games against the blue-chip likes of Kansas and UCLA, John Calipari's men have outscored their opponents by an average of more than 35 points per contest. In a few days, UK will play its first true road game, at Louisville, and if the pattern described above is any guide, the Cardinals can expect to get the Wildcats at their very best. And if Kentucky does indeed prevail in that game, there will be a good deal of talk to the effect that the path is now clear for Calipari's team to run the table against a lackluster SEC. The Cats do indeed have the best chance of running the table of any team we've seen since, well, Wichita State last season. But I have a request: If Kentucky reaches March with a "0" (or for that matter a "1") in the loss column, don't chalk the team's success up to talent alone. Calipari does have the most talented rotation in the country, but it's what he has chosen to do with that talent that has set his team apart in 2014-15.

I would bet the coachs will have them ready to go against our arch rival. The thing I worry the most about is Pitino and know he will do everything he knows to get his team ready to beat us. I can't stand the man but he is one coach that makes his team better every season and would do any thing in his power to take us down. -------------------- http://www.ukfightsong.com/ Posts: 186359 | From: st. augustine florida 32092 | Registered: Mar 2001  |  IP: Logged m hamilton Player Member # 127 posted 12-21-2014 10:45 PM                     If you watch "This is Kentucky Basketball" the weekly show that WKYT puts on, Cal commented in his pre-game locker-room speech he tells the boys I know you guys are thinking about an upcoming game but I've been thinking about nothing but today! That tells me that these boys know the importance of next weekend! Coach Payne can tell them how important next weekend is and he played for the other team then! -------------------- The potus is planning 1st major tax hike since '93 in next economic package!

I think UK goes into the Yum! center and absolutely emasculates the cards. We win by 25+ going away. It is nearly impossible to prepare for the type of defense that UK is playing. And if you think the Cards will be up for this game, imagine how much Cal and UK wants it as well. UK 75, UofL 49. -------------------- Tiptree “If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.” Thomas Jefferson Posts: 13622 | From: Terre Haute, IN | Registered: Sep 2000  |  IP: Logged m hamilton Player Member # 127 posted 12-22-2014 11:18 AM                     I hope you are right, Tip.
