***Official Kentucky Prediction Thread***

Should be about a 12 point spread.

Sucks this is a home game for them for several reasons..

You know what, for some reason this doesn't bother me that much. ISU has absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain by playing UK. I think our guys will respond well and not get too rattled. If they do start to let the game get away a bit, Fred will call a timeout and set things straight.

Such an uber opportunity for our young coach and revitalized program to make a name for its self.

Does anyone think that Pat Reily (GM Miami Heat) was there to watch his future coach and not just lottery picks?

I bet Goerges is loving the win tonight. It probably makes more sense to those that look perplexed when he tells them he chose to attend ISU and play for the Mayor.

For Kentucky this will be game #155 in the NCAA tourny. #26 for ISU.

This would be an unreal, monumental, unimaginable victory! Im ready for it!

Number of tournament games in the two schools' history is irrelevant. If anything it's Chris Allen 15... Kentucky team 15ish.

Look at the two teams that beat them this year. One big man and four guards with at least one sharpshooter... we have like six shooters. It will be a close one.

[Blue63Madison]

Here's hoping for a great game and no injuries.

Kentucky - 78
Iowa State - 64

Obviously its irrelevant regarding how we can win the game. It is not irrelevant as to how big of a win this would be.

The 2 games that Kentucky lost had one common theme... they got out rebounded.

[IlikeTornados]

I can agree with that. I just feel as though our shooters may give them problems despite their length.

Agreed. We've beaten Baylor with their length, UCONN with their length, and KU as well.


This game could end up being one of the most epic basketball games in ISU history.


My nightmare is we get blown out. Royce has 23-11-10. Announces that he's going pro after the game.

Pat Riley is a Kentucky legend whose jersey hangs in the Rupp Arena rafters. He attends UK games whenever he can. But, of course, he was there to scout future NBA players also.

Ahhh, interesting. I'd forgotten his past.

[Fishhead]

Here's to the announcers commenting that the game looks like the JV team playing the Varsity!

[jbindm]

ISU by two at the buzzer. Bracket anarchy. Let me mayor shock the world!

[Ry4Cy]

Isn't that the motto for Tasty Tacos in Des Moines? If the Clones play as good as those tacos taste....winner!

I'm going with the great Clubber Lang for my prediction, "PAIN"
