I’ll admit, giving our coach a Gatorade bath and then losing the game is pretty embarrassing.
That would be a good comment if you were an A&M fan. The fact that you’re a uk fan using the LSU A&M game fiasco to trash talk makes you look pathetic. Yalls football program is trash

But I’m not, an LSU fan brought it up. If you have a problem, take it up with him.
And don’t take this so serious, it’s all in fun on here. That’s not trash talk

Like I said, it’s all in good fun. Wasn’t meant to be taken serious. Have nothing against LSU.

agree. We have a better shot at home against UT. No way we beat U.K. on the road
and no, I'm not going to predict a victory for my Tigers. But this has potential disaster written all over it for Kentucky.
Big home game against a ranked conference opponent, Kentucky going to come out hard early. Wouldn't be shocked to see them jump ahead by 12-15 before the game gets into a good flow.
Kentucky's full of blue chippers, it could be hard for the staff to keep them focused in what feels like an easy blowout. They might start showboating for the crowd, etc.
But... that's how LSU plays. Spot you a big run early, then crank it up and reel you in. Just as a big early Ky lead won't be a surprise, neither would LSU catching them and taking the lead with under 5 to go. At that point, it's going to be a question of how much LSU still has in the tank, and whether Kentucky can turn it back on when they get pushed.

I just hope both teams have fun

I don’t doubt the Tigers will play hard but we can’t let UK run up a double digit lead like we let other teams do. They are to good to overcome a big lead

But our chances to win if we do, oddly enough, might be better at Rupp than home vs Tennessee. Like I said, Kentucky might relax and show off at home, and let us claw back in. Tennessee is more experienced, and they're going to be on the road. They probably won't ease off in that environment.

If LSU can knock down some 3's and control the glass, look out.

Our best road win is either ms st or ole miss. Take you’re pick.
As for my guess on how Tuesday night goes, I’ll say Kentucky by 7. 84-77 type game. Even when LSU has great teams and Kentucky has avg/bad teams, we have an issue winning @ rupp(or against uk in general). Just hope our guys grow from it. Now if we meet in the tourneys, all bets are off

If LSU gets into foul trouble they have no chance. Hope the refs call a decent game.
With an 8 man rotation, we really can't afford anyone getting into early foul trouble.
Waters, Mays and Smart have to play much better than they have been aside from Waters one great game last week.
If those three players shoot 28% combined again LSU won't win the game.

I think this is going to be a really good game. LSU has the horses to hang till the end. I honestly think the winner will win by 5 points or less. I think UK comes out strong and LSU brings it back to a close game middle of the 2nd. Looking at an 80-75 type game with hopefully the Tigers on top. Don’t think it will be a blow out either way

86-80 UK

Kentucky 92 LSU 78

My guess is 79-71 or so UK.

Once again LSU will find itself behind early, and at some point will make a run to get it close, but Kentucky is too good and at Rupp, pulls away late to win going away 88-74. Will Wade will This team will have to learn to come out stronger earlier in games down the stretch of the season and come tourney time. you cant continue to get in big holes early and rely on coming back in games. Sooner or later your luck runs out

We have won 11 of the past 13 meetings dating back to 2010, with both loses being at the Maravich Assembly Ctr. The average score of these 13 games is UK 78 - LSU 68.
LSU has a nice squad and I like their guards. Tremont is really fun to watch. Naz is a force of nature but hasn't been pushed to play extended minutes this season - often on the 20's. Additionally, we have 4 players @ 6'10" or more and 20 fouls to use against him. He will get his, but he will not beat us.
If I had to predict, I would say 76-74 based on offensive and defensive efficiencies of both teams + home court (+3) = 79-74 Kentucky.
Should be a nice up and down game with athletic plays galore.

His last 3 conference games - 33 minutes vs. Ark, 35 minutes @ MSU, 35 minutes vs. AU. He's played a lot more in conference play, with him it's just a matter of staying out of foul trouble. He sometimes has a tendency to pickup cheap fouls away from the basket.
All in all should be a fun game, we've been pretty awful from 3 in most of conference play but STARTED to find ourselves back a little vs. Auburn. I think it's definitely going to take a big game from our guards from outside to win @ UK. We need to have one of those efficient performances from 3 in the beginning of conference play like we had against Alabama, Arkansas or Ole Miss...Either way we arent a team like Auburn who just rains down 3's, we love to go inside a lot. #1 fouled team in the SEC.
