UK goes down tonight @ Mississippi State

  • SportsAndLady
    Mark it down.

    Miss State needs the marquee win for the tournament resume', and they've won 11 in a row at home.

    I picked it in the pick-em

    There was a rumor that Ravern Johnson is suspended for this game. If so, huge blow for MSU. I hope it's not true, and it doesn't appear to be. They need him to have a big game to win.

    If Kansas lost last night, we wouldnt see this thread.

    S&L's right--it could very well happen...look what's happened in the Big East the last 5 days!!!
  • DeyDurkie5
    no way it happens, you crazy

    UK is heads and shoulders above anyone else in the SEC(mediocre conf. at best). For anyone to beat them, IMO, UK will have to have an off nite, and the other team will have to play very well. Could very well happen as UK seems to play to level at times. But they also have shown the ability to make that one run to give them enough breathing room.

    Thanks for making certain it won't happen.

    Hmmm, you should know how this works, your the king of it on football. Mr SEC Chesthumper himself. ;)

    Including South Carolina, right?

    That's why it's called an "upset"

    How does the Kansas game from last night have anything to do with a prediction for tonight? Can't wait to hear this one..

    Every game on the road in the SEC is a war the further south you go. I could see UK jumping out to a big lead then the Dogs come out and make it a tight contest.

    MSU needs a strong shooting night and I don't think they can shoot well enough to win.

    I just don't see Kentucky losing tonight maybe at Vandy but not tonight.

    Ravern Johnson isn't in the starting lineup. Romero Osby will start in-place of him. He is their leading scorer and the best 3-point shooter in the SEC.

    Brad Nessler just confirmed he will not play.

    Well this is just unfair in my pick-em.

    Heres to hoping Vernardo breaks that blocks record tonight!!!
  • Azubuike24
    I'm with you. I picked MSU, but I also need some serious upset points to comeback so it's worth the risk.
  • Mulva
    I took MSU too. I still like their chances actually. I hope they cover the +3 at least.
  • Azubuike24
    UK is 1 for 10 from 3-point range. If they are hitting anything in the 2nd half, it's over.
  • Azubuike24
    1 for 11 now. I've seen The Hump when it's rocking. It doesn't quite have that "pop" tonight. I just don't feel the upset anymore.
  • reclegend22
    I always hate when people are overconfident about an upset. I know Kentucky's players can't hear us a thousand or whatever miles away, but it never fails. Every time.

    I agree with, Az. The energy just isn't there in the building tonight, at least not to the level that other gymnasiums were at for some of this year's biggest upsets/unexpected wins. UNC at College of Charleston (is this even considered an upset anymore?). Kansas at Tennessee after the Vols player suspension situation, Texas at K-State, etc. In the College of Charleston and Tennessee games, by half time you just knew the visiting favorite was going down. I don't feel that tonight.
  • Mulva
    Are you kidding me Varnardo? 3 fouls in about 2 minutes including 2 stupid ones back to back. Awful.
  • Azubuike24
    Cousins gets an equally as dumb foul for his 3rd...
  • reclegend22
    Well, the atmosphere seems to have turned 180 degrees since the first half. UK foul trouble and some long range Quincy Doubys will do that.

    Go Bulldogs. I need this win badly for the picks contest.
