BradleyFans.com isn't sending a fleet of reporters to cover the game?

Missing these annual games is one of the things I miss most about no longer living in the Commonwealth. With the way Louisville's inside game has really been atrocious, and the ease and fluidity of Kentucky's inside play, my Cards will really have to play beyond themselves to win, or probably even stay in this one. Should be fun to watch thou. Pitino will probably have to give significant minutes to Samuels and Jennings being on the floor at the same time to deal with combos of Patterson - Cousins - Orton; and that doesn't happen terribly often.

Also, with the ability of both teams to play up tempo, and the fact that Pitino and Calipari always have fit teams, the game should have a high energy level throughout.

Essentially, I hope we keep it close until we can reload in the coming seasons, heh.

Since the game is at Kentucky, officials there are expecting a lot of fan hostility directed at Louisville coach (and former Kentucky coach) Rick Pitino, especially after the events of this past summer when he admitted having a sordid affair with the wife of his personal assistant.
Security measures will certainly be heightened for this game, and Coach Calipari is pleading with the Kentucky fans to try to show some class and restraint.-
