Pre-LiveBlog Thoughts: UK | L'ville

I'm watching part of the Pitt - Wisconsin game on ESPN. Nice Top 10 game on the air, tied at 16 with 10:56 left in the 1st. At least from a spectator view, it looks like Kentucky could hang with either team.

So what do I expect from today's game?

· Turnovers
· Scoring within the 70s
· Scoring total about 158
· Free throws - lots of free throws

Here are my pre-game wishes:

· Let's hold the Cards under 40%

· We're gonna need the J, so Crawford I hope your jumper is ready

· Let's play well enough to get Pitino a techi in his own house

· Hey, who's gonna be the “Patrick Sparks” of today's game? I say it's gonna Bradley or maybe Jasper driving in the lane … and One

· Palacios rhymes with Pistachios …

· Ignore that last comment, Jasper rhymes with Casper

· Halftime better be more than 30, but there's a potential it could get ugly - scoring in 50s ugly

· Monster Jams: 5 -- two by Morris, one by Stevenson, one by Perry, and one by Meeks

· Blocks: 7 -- three by Morris, two by Stevenson, 2 by Perry

· Prediction - Key Play: Kentucky down one with the ball with 3 secs left in the game and inbounds the ball at L'ville's end. Then a streaking Patrick Sparks comes running out of the L'ville's student section tearing off his L'ville gear revealing his old Kentucky uni and takes the ball out of Jasper's hand and proceeds to inbound the ball to Bobby Perry which then Perry passes the ball back to Sparks at the baseline three and completes a miracle repeat of what happened two years ago.

Wisconsin up on Pitt at half - that Tucker kid is scary. Dickie V was screeeeeamin'.
