Cats Look For Revenge on Cocks, Little People

5'10" Darnell Dodson tries to guard the 2'3" Cock.

The last time these two teams met, it ended with a floor full of cocks trying to raise up on Big Cuz. Tonight, your university of Kentucky Wildcats try and avenge the only loss John Calipari has ever had in Lexington. Las Vegas says Big Blue should win by 16. And while I think that may be generous considering the opponent and its recent history against us, I have a ton of faith our Italian head coach is connected just enough to make those who gamble very uncomfortable as the clock winds down.

5 Game Notes

1. The gameplan is this: Keep Devan Downey from banking in 35-footers, or simply bring in John Hood to take the guy out. Nothing career threatening, just a liver shot to discombobulate him for an hour or two. Kidding aside, if we can get a committee to hold this guy in check, we should be OK, but we've known this for awhile now.

2. Big Blue Booyah Drinking Game: Take a drink every time Eric Bledsoe dribbles out of control or falls down. Take a drink every time they mention Darrin Horn and his association with Lexington/Kentucky.

3. Can Pat build on his past two solid performances? Coach Cal has called him out on it, let's see how he responds. Its getting to be crunch time, something all of our studs have never experienced. Who are we kidding, this guy needs a run to be considered among the elite-elite at this University. He's arguably the most important piece to the Indy puzzle.

4. As The 3-spot Turns: DeAndre Liggins seems to have solidified his role on this team. He knows what his limitations are. Will any of our other small forwards show progression as we get into March? Darius looked improved at Vandy. Darnell did not. Ramon is...........Is Ramon on the team still?

5. You might think I'm crazy, but I'd love to see Devan Downey get a standing O at the end of this game. We consider ourselves the greatest fans on Earth. If this is true, we should recognize greatness (or in this case greatness versus us) and not be afraid to give the Cat-killer his due respect. Now if the game is close, or we lose, screw that guy. But if the game is close to the Vegas spread, I'd love to see Darrin Horn sub for Downey when its out of hand and see Rupp give him some props. Of course, you'd have wake up everyone in the lower arena to do this, but its worth a try. That's why I'd argue we're the greatest. We recognize greatness.

Go Cats.
