If anyone is bored right now, the Kentucky/Louisville game being played right now looks more like March than December. Sloppy but intense, great watching.

Tyler Ulis is playing for Kentucky. We recruited him early on but had no chance once the big schools started calling.

Trey Lyles was also offered by us.

Really sloppy. It's a great rivalry, and the athleticism on display is amazing. But they're not very good basketball players. If I were an NBA coach, I'd be shaking my head at the turnovers and missed open looks from this year's lottery picks.

We don't have their athletes or height, but Loyola is doing a lot of things this year that Louisville does on defense-- especially in this game where they're going up against a much bigger frontcourt. If we can refine our defensive switches a little better, and bring Louisville's kind of intensity each and every game, we could get double digit wins in conference.

Loyola is also doing a lot of things Louisville can't do...like shoot.

Blackshear still doesn't use his left hand

There's no comparison between us and these two teams. I wish there was, but there isn't. Louisville could be a final four team, and UK is by far the number 1 team in the Country. When Kentucky is on, I don't see any team coming close to them this year. They made UCLA look like a high school team in Chicago, almost shutting them out in the first half.
