Wildcats Will Need P Squared's A Game Tonight

Patrick Patterson will need to be effective on both the defensive and offensive ends of the court for the Wildcats to pull out a victory in Gainesville tonight. However, it is his experience and leadership that will be most important to keep his less experienced teammates from becoming unnerved due to the wild environment that they will be presented with tonight. If the Wildcats can pull out a victory against Florida, the distance to the Indianapolis exit gets a little shorter - oh yeah, and it will give the Big Blue another reason to party.

Wildcats Win...Rupp is Like Hell?

Louisville guard Edgar Sosa (according to several media outlets) likened the Rupp experience to walking into hell. For me, the only thing hellish about today's game were the referees and the announcers. The anti-UK agenda was in full-court 'press' mode. In addition, when Seth Davis' panties got all wadded up at halftime, you just knew that the drama wasn't anywhere near being over.

In this year's I-64 clash, it is the Wildcats who come away victors, winning 71-62. Wall, Cousins, and Patterson are beasts. It has been a long time since UK has had warriors that simply refuse to back down to anyone (even when the referees spot their opponent a dozen or so points). For the Cardinals and their well-feathered fans, all the smack talk leading up to today's game bought them a lot of crow - happy dining!
