    Can UK beat Louisville at Yum! without Deng?

    Reports he is out until after the New Year.

    Can't imagine he won't play against us. For his sake, I hope he is back sooner than later.

    Can they yes, will they no.
    UK is very weak with the ball when they try to drive, how many times does Poythress and Noel get the ball stripped in the lane.
    Really think UL is going to pressure UK the whole game, I see a weakness in the guard play that UL will try to exploit.

    To answer the question: YES! Is it likely to happen? The odds are about 5 to 1.

    Not the way we're playing right now we can't.

    Will be pretty surprised if he doesn't play. The injury was real but Pitino has a long history of exaggerating when a player will return to suit his purposes.

    Can we win? Yes we can. Will we? Ask me after I see us play Marshall and see how much progress we made in a week with no 20 hour rule.

    Of course, I sincerely hope to eat my words, but UL beats us by 15+ with or without him.
    We just aren't very "smooth" yet.

    Yes we can win. It will depend on if we handle the pressure on the ball and make smart decisions. Hope the practice time the next 2 weeks will help with these things.

    Re: Can UK beat Louisville at Yum! without Deng?

    Yes, we can beat them. I think Duke is the best gauge of what we are likely to see. Our guys were not playing great at the time, but they fought and fought hard. They have not showed that in a few other games. I think they will fight like dogs against UL. It is on the National Stage, it would get them back in the Top 25 (which these guys DO care about), and it will be the culmination of 2 weeks of hard work.
    So yes, we definitely can win.

    Better chance than with Deng....

    Re: Can UK beat Louisville at Yum! without Deng?

    We can beat them but not if we shoot 60% from the line. We are going to have to shoot well and withstand a few brutal runs from them.

    Re: Can UK beat Louisville at Yum! without Deng?

    Gotta hold UaSmell to mid 30's in shooting percentage and let Harrow run the game. It can be done.

    If little Ricky can get him on the court, he will, but if the doctors refuse to let him at least they'll have their excuse in place when we beat them again.

    I think UK is still about 5 or 6 points better on a neutral court. Playing at the Yummy, I think we win a very close game.

    If they don't improve from what they have been, I'll say...UL BY 18.

    Kentucky will beat Louisville by 5. By the end of the season, the Wildcats will be in the Final Four. I promise.

    Re: Can UK beat Louisville at Yum! without Deng?

    I hope you're right Krank. I do believe Cal will have them going by March, I just can't see them getting it together in time for them to beat Loserville.

    That is a big promise, I hope you are right, I just don't see it.

    Anyone who thought Dieng wasn't playing doesn't understand how Pitino operates.
