Did Rick Pitino flip off Kentucky fans?
Over that same period, the Wildcats have lost just four home games, period. Kentucky played Louisville coming off a loss to Ohio State the previous Saturday.
Poythress also had one of his best games for Kentucky, contributing 14 points, six rebounds and three blocked shots. The Wildcats have made 31.3 percent of their 2-point jump shots and 29.7 percent of their 3-pointers, per hoop-math.com. To be able to be at Kentucky and to play that well… obviously I’m blessed. Kentucky freshman forward Skal Labissiere may have been on the cover of the Rupp Area game day program, but he continued the disappointing start to his collegiate career with two points and three rebounds in 10 minutes.
After Lee scored on a layup to cut the deficit to two points with 3:14 left, Kentucky reserve guard Dominique Hawkins hit a three-pointer late in the shot clock to add to the lead.
If Kentucky is going to beat Louisville then they’re going to have to solve the Cardinals press when we watch the Kentucky game live streaming or on TV today.
No. 16 Louisville looks to pick up a rare road win against No. 12 Kentucky when the two meet this afternoon at Noon ET. United Kingdom was ineligible for the NCAA Tournament his first two seasons (1989-90 and 1990-91). And this week’s totals are higher than for any of the final AP polls dating to at least the 2007-08 season, according to STATS.
Just this one: Pitino can’t expect a break about whether he did or did not give Rupp Arena fans an obscene one-finger salute while leaving the court by refusing to make himself available to talk after the game – other than to the U of L radio network. Associate head coach Ralph Willard appeared instead.
Ulis had a game-high eight assists, just one shy of his career best. He dominated U of L (6-2) but was 0-4 versus North Carolina (0-3) and Duke (0-1).
The Cardinals had the game’s final possession. He is among the ACC leaders in scoring (18.3, 4th), steals (1.7, 3rd) and free throw percentage (.872, 4th).
Yet that number is dwarfed by the 16 players Calipari has signed at Kentucky who became first-round selections (that does not include Enes Kanter, who never played at United Kingdom, or Patrick Patterson and Daniel Orton, who signed with United Kingdom before Calipari was hired). The 1-8 comment (Pitino’s record against Kentucky coach John Calipari) was fine. United Kingdom is 199-40 during that time span.
Louisville ranks 3rd in field goal percentage defense, holding their opponents to shooting an average of 34.4 percent from the field. UofL has shot above 50 percent in nine of its 12 games. Pitino has skipped postgame news conferences on occasion this season. UofL is 13th nationally in scoring (86.1 ppg). He then declined to discuss the Cardinals’ performance in a thrilling 75-73 loss with the media.
The game is a chance for Louisville to earn a signature win, against its biggest rival at that.
