It’s a beautiful Saturday morning (well, not sure about Kentucky), and the South Carolina Gamecocks head to Rupp trying to win there for only the second time ever. They’ll be led by for Lexington high school star Darrin Horn, who lives his life to this song, and should give the Cats a good game.
Here are a couple of reads to get you ready:
- Kentucky fell out of the ESPN Power Rankings, but they still remained in the top 25 of Dick Vitale, Doug Gottlieb and Joe Lunardi. I thought you said those people hated Kentucky?
- Lexington native Darrin Horn knows what it means to play in Rupp and remembers his first trip there as a fan.
- The Cats are looking for someone not named “Patterson” or “Meeks” to score today.
- The Cats are screwed. Devan Downey is “impossible to stop”. However, he’s like 3 feet tall so he’s not impossible to “stomp”. Maybe they should try that.
- Gillispie is hoping for a more patient offense today against South Carolina. This is probably because he read my post yesterday saying that South Carolina is efficient on offense so the Cats can’t count on forcing turnovers for extra possessions.
- This guy thinks “Darrin Horn is a Winner”, which hopefully will be the most incorrect column written today.
- In what might be the shortest story of all-time, this guy says the SEC should just stick to football. He should just stick to stealing his name from people in the Bible.
- An oldie but a goodie: Darrin Horn walks into a glass door while texting and cuts his nose.
Don’t forget, Matt will be live-blogging the game from press row this afternoon. I’d have to say this is going to be significantly more interesting than the C-J’s live blog of the weather.

At least we were the 26 team, a couple more votes and we would be in.
Oh, and, FIRST!!!

Could we get links to more Darrin Horn stories? 3 is not enough.

I can’t bear the thought of UK losing two straight therefore my prediction is:
Kentucky: 74
South Carolina: 63
-Patterson: 19 pts/10 rebounds
-Meeks: 24 pts/4 turnovers
-Miller: 13 pts/5 rebounds
-Liggins: 0 pts/229 turnovers

KSR has been nominated for two blogger’s choice awards. I see no reason why the big blue nation couldn’t take over here and blow away the other competition. Vote here:

Cats 87
Cocks 65
Patterson 27
Liggins 3 pts, 12 Turnovers
Galloway 0 minutes
January 31st, 2009 at 10:31 am
UK 67
SC 61
I think its going to be one of those Orlando slopfests that we used to see from the last 4 or 5 years. Lots of turnovers and missed shots but we come out ahead on our toughness.
January 31st, 2009 at 10:32 am
Does anyone know what the spread on the game is?
January 31st, 2009 at 11:08 am
What is the over/under regarding Liggins’ turnovers? Last I seen it was 9.
January 31st, 2009 at 11:08 am
in KY enquirer it is 9 1/2. UK fav. My prediction UK 71 Cocks 65.
January 31st, 2009 at 11:37 am
USC 72
UK 69
sorry but thats my prediction.
January 31st, 2009 at 11:37 am
That is Horn’s song? I thought it would “Eye of the Tiger” or “Keep Your Eyes on the Prize”…anything but “Hungry Eyes”? That is really gay…
January 31st, 2009 at 11:39 am
Time to send a message Cats…blow them out and get back on track. Sometimes a loss (Ole Miss) is the best thing to get a team really focused on hitting their goals…just play defense like your season depends on it.
January 31st, 2009 at 11:43 am
Kentucky 77
South Carolina 69
January 31st, 2009 at 11:49 am
GO LIGGINS!!!! I’m serious, I like the kid and want him to do well.
January 31st, 2009 at 11:54 am
There is actually something happening in the game when he’s in. Porter dribbles it around never doing much, just avoiding turnovers. Liggins is willing to take risks in order to become better. I like that.
January 31st, 2009 at 11:55 am
Correct me if I’m wrong, but Gottlieb had us OUT of the Top 25 before we lost and has us IN after the Ole Miss game???
Is that right?
January 31st, 2009 at 11:57 am
usc 86 uk 78 downey 25 points meeks 15 patterson 2
January 31st, 2009 at 11:59 am
Why does everyone act like Dicky V hates UK. He loves UK. He loves all the tradition rich programs. His bias is towards tradition rich programs that are on top right now.

1 “At least we were the 26 team” are you serious?
January 31st, 2009 at 12:05 pm
truBLU I will take an Orlando slopfest over a BCG “whooping” any day of the week.
January 31st, 2009 at 12:18 pm
78-73 Cats.
January 31st, 2009 at 12:23 pm
How long before you guys are even close to as good as my cards are you think?
January 31st, 2009 at 12:45 pm
Learn to use commas or to write in coherent sentences if you are going to talk crap on another team’s blog.
Cats win by 12. Krebs drops 15.
January 31st, 2009 at 12:45 pm
well, considering we only lost to u by 3 at home to a miracle shot, Craig, uhhhhhh…..
January 31st, 2009 at 12:46 pm
: ) 20 point lead over WV BEFORE halftime!! : P
January 31st, 2009 at 12:47 pm
23) lol, Ramon, you feel’n the heat yet? : ) 20 points beating WV at halftime!!! lol.
poor lil kitty kats!
January 31st, 2009 at 12:51 pm
Dude, if you’re trying to say that UL is better than UK right now, you can save your breath. Everybody knows that UL is playing better than UK right now. Congrats on your keen perception. The fact that you feel the need to come over here constantly and crow about it leads me to believe that you are 14 years old … or just a complete loser. Or both.
January 31st, 2009 at 12:55 pm
22: 7 National Championships, plus we own the series against Loserville 26 games to 14!!!!
Next question……………
January 31st, 2009 at 1:01 pm
28) another history lesson i see : )
isn’t it sad though that the current state of kentucky basketball even requires your bringing up “history”? : ) but hey! that’s what it has come down to right? things just aren’t that great in ole blue lexington right now!! and now espn hates you even more for your joke coach making a complete ass out of himself on national TV! lol. i love it!
January 31st, 2009 at 1:06 pm
[...] has some links about the game [...]
January 31st, 2009 at 1:08 pm
I don’t even know if this post will stay on here and it is definitely sad that it (you) upsets me this much but Craig if I were ever to meet you or find out who you were I would do my damnest to teach you a lesson in humility/respect. You are the type of person that makes other people question their desires to live a peaceful life.
January 31st, 2009 at 1:09 pm
29: He didn’t make a “complete ass” out of himself. He simply answered the question and he’s so much like Adolph Rupp that it’s amazing!!!!! He’s all basketball and he’s 5-1 in the SEC in only his 2nd year and he finished 12-4 in the SEC last year and earned Coach of the Year in the SEC!!!!!
Furthermore, history is my favorite subject and I forgot to mention to you that we’re #1 in all time wins in the history of college hoops!!!!!! Plus our practice facility is nicer than your all’s rinky dink gym. The future is bright at UK and BCG is slowly cleaning up Tubby’s mess.
GO CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 31st, 2009 at 1:10 pm
hehe, well #31 i’m sorry life gets to you so easily. maybe call a therapist or something. i dunno. but no, you’ll never know who or where i am. but trust me, even if you did, no problem there either. : )
January 31st, 2009 at 1:11 pm
Why does anyone ever respond to LFC? If you just ignored him he would stop posting on here. Its the same way you handle a 3 year old. They act up in order to get a reaction, if you ignore them, they stop.
January 31st, 2009 at 1:16 pm
33: LOSERVILLE sucks!!!!!
Furthermore, why do you say that I don’t know “who you are” or “where you are”? Do you really think I care who you are or where you are??
The bottom line is, I do know where you are. You’re chatting on a KENTUCKY basketball site because Loserville doesn’t have one!!!!! LMAO!!!!!!
GO CATS!!!!!
PS: Did I mention that Loserville sucks???
January 31st, 2009 at 1:17 pm
34: I’m extremely bored and that’s why I responded to our little sissy in Loserville. I think it’s hilarious that they come to our chat boards because they’re not smart enough to have their own!!
GO Cats.

LouisvilleFagCraig: Your folks not using the computer right now? You are such a funny little guy; the BE is a tad over-rated, son. The ACC has the best teams in it: UNC/Duke/Wake. UofL is doing well in conference–just like the Cats. I hope you guys beat WVU at home (we beat them in Vegas)…
