    I watched the Kentucky Arkansas game and for the first half Kentucky look perfectly average. But then the second half they seem to turn it on and blew right past the Razorbacks. Given our history of fading at the end of games what are our chances winning in Lexington?

    Probably about the same as our all time winning percentage there.

    I'd say we have about a 30% chance of winning. It will depend on how well we hit our 3's. I know that a lot of folks blame our FT shooting for the home loss against UK but 1-11 from deep in the second half was the real reason. Like the first game I suspect UK will give us looks from 3 and jam up the middle.

    We don't match up that badly with them.

    We sure have looked subpar the last few games. I expect it to be a hard fought game for sure!

    I don't expect a win at Rupp, but we have a realistic chance if we're at the top of our game. We should have beaten them in Gainesville so we know we can compete with them.

    I think it would be 50/50 but home court...so 49% chance of winning.

    You never know...

    Well, if it's a close game, we could pull one out with some help from the officials.

    I’m not expecting a win, but I wouldn’t be surprised if UF won.

    We can beat anyone in the conference if we remember that we have a solid inside game.

    Calipari is not a stupid coach. He knows that if he plays us straight up we can dominate his team in the paint. He will roll the dice like he did in Gainesville and make us beat them from the outside and take away the inside game.

    Best hope is fate is with us in a close game followed by some UK-stomping barrage of dunks and 3s!!

    I've got the flu so meds are doing something

    I'd suggest the following percentages:

    50% - UK double-digit win
    25% - UK single-digit win
    20% - UF single-digit win
    5% - UF double-digit win

    Pretty much only win there when we are clearly the better team.

    Zero chance we win at KY or any of the next 3 games. Need to win the games we are favored to win after that though.
