Louisville vs. Kentucky PREVIEW + PREDICTION: Who has the EDGE IN COLLEGE HOOPS MOST HATED RIVALRY?

[@nickperkins8477]

Louisville seems like they have been struggling, but coming into Rupp Arena, their eyes will be large and they will be ready to play. Kentucky had better be ready and we need Lamont Butler healthy.

[@christianfernandez3068]

They're struggling bc they have TONS of injuries. Had to play SEVEN players the last game against UTEP

[@SteveDixon-v7s]

Louisville always plays kentucky better then anybody else if we were healthy we wouldn't be struggling

[@wvit2831]

Unfortunately Louisville has 3 major injuries and I certainly think that changes everything for Louisville for rest of the season and believe that Kentucky wins the game Saturday. I like both hires PK for Louisville and Mark Pope for Kentucky.

[@LorrieC23]

Can’t wait til Saturday! GO CATS!!!

[@baker-h6q]

Need Butler back.

[@johnnystivers6788]

I seriously doubt he sits out on Saturday. There was no need to play him against Colgate even though it was a sloppy game but we definitely need him against Louisville. Idc about their record or who they haven’t beat or the Tennessee game. If they are shooting well from deep they will be hard to beat, we have good 3 point defense but Lamont is a big part of that we need him because Chucky is a good PG and he is a very good defender and they have shooters they lost to Duke but they were up for a lot of the game. I want to win but in happy this game is even relevant because the last couple of seasons it’s been a bye game

My Prediction(s): With Butler: UK: 92 - UL: 75 Without Butler: UK: 85 - UL: 78

[@shartshooter]

Duke and Carolina seem to both have too much respect for each other. The pure vitriol between UK and UL fans makes it better.

[@clavd8932]

Duke v UNC is two to three times a year. Its overplayed and watered down. UK v UofLol is real. It's heated.

[@CoconutDaddy]

This is Exactly The Video I came here For

[@ProudJew348]

Did I mention that UK is dealing with TWO major injuries...at the same position...POINT GUARD.

[@eugenehovekamp6038]

If Kentucky is still cold from 3, this game will go down to the wire. If Butler is still unable to go, Louisville guards will be very difficult to contain.

[@mikesmith5799]

Top 5 team that looks to actually maybe be the best team in college basketball on their home floor against a struggling bottom tier acc team, I say it's probably 9 or 10 pts

[@BrianLawrence-vk3pu]

As a UK fan, I wish Louisville was at full strength. They are still a threat to win as constructed but I wish they were whole. Looking forward to a tough game tomorrow. Go Cats!

[@Sailor_jack67]

I wish the Cats were all healthy too. Butler will be needed soon.

[@CharliAtari]

We aren't whole at all either

[@Syrin23]

Kentucky powered through their let down trap game and will be ready to take no prisoners Saturday

[@lakedog3616]

I don’t see how it can be the best when the series is so one sided. Both historically and recently.

[@chad0219]

One thing I will credit Calipari for, he has Louisville's number... lol Let's keep that rolling Pope, take care of the dirty birds!!!

[@donpaige3034]

Undoubtedly Butler hurt worse than it seemed Ky is definitely not the same team without him

[@jasonkeaton5140]

Hell yeah! Bout to be a good game. Kentucky by 12

[@johnclevesjr6869]

Big Blue 95 Loserville 80, with or without Butler!

[@freedomforall5071]

UK 83 UL 67

[@haldriver1378]

How can "Dippity-Do" get disheveled?

[@gravelandmuddband7312]

cats 83 cards 70

[@ashtonledford5205]

Too many injuries for my Cards. Kentucky 81 Louisville 68. Go Cards!

[@btcpac-pr7bu]

if l ville gets hot early they can make it a game. if uk plays more inside out theyll dominate stop chucking threes uk

[@nickperkins8477]

Exactly. Three pointers should be a tool and only used when they are falling.

[@saijuhr3206]

​@nickperkins8477 but that collapses the defense on a pretty weak post game. They struggle to take it to the rim outside of Oweh and Carr. Shooting more threes leaves that inside more open. That and Pope is a 3 ball first kind of coach. They are trying to shoot more, not less. It's what's winning games right now in college and pros.

[@davidaldridge5716]

Colgate just made it a game. Trust me….Louisville can make it a game. Especially without Butler

[@Kytilidie]

Here's a pig ppl. Lol

[@CharliAtari]

What are you talking about lmao.. Kentucky has been amazing from 3 and we're missing our top 2 point guards right now

[@freedomforall5071]

ANOTHER GUARANTEED WIN FOR WILDCATS😺

[@Glaudge]

They don't call it L ville for nothing.

[@B-Eazy999]

This will be a good game regardless who u fan for and if Pryor was healthy this would have been a real trap game for UK but still can be real messy for UK if Louisville comes out hitting 3’s , UK better play better than they did against Colgate or they can lose this game .

[@BlakeRogers-p1b]

L’s down forever and always cats cats cats

[@randyhenson5103]

Ls down

[@btcpac-pr7bu]

lol saying this is the best rivarly over duke and unc is wild lol

[@ngarcia103]

Do Duke and UNC hate each other in other sports as much as they do in men's basketball though?

[@Syrin23]

Yeah, this was true maybe 30 years ago

[@mildbillproductions]

@@ngarcia103 Do they play any other sports?

[@alanross2243]

The Duke UNC rivalry is an espn marketing rivalry. It’s not a big deal

[@btcpac-pr7bu]

@@alanross2243 lol youre not from NC they legit have fights at schools in the area over it and they actually play twice u sound like a hater

[@stephenandluisa]

Kentucky plays 14 of their first 17 games with home cooking, it’s going to hurt them in conference play….

[@CharliAtari]

Louisville sucks

[@redghost3170]

UK - 77, UL - 81. Yes, I’m an expert.

[@jamesasmith2494]

I would definitely say Duke and Carolina as the best rivarly.

[@Bourbon_Blue_Devil]

Louisville wins!!

[@freedomforall5071]

NOT HAPPENING!

[@rzob.5729]

Louisville is garbage. not even that excited top play them. cant wait for sec play!
