Wednesday night at 7:00. Great matchup. Should be a great one to watch.
There have been some very good games in the NIT this year. Maybe there is every year and I haven't noticed but this year has definitely been entertaining.

Notre Dame will have had 6 days of rest versus 2 for UK. Will ND be more well rested or will they be rusty? I've seen it go either way for teams after extended lay-offs...
also interested to see what sort of crowd shows up for the game. They had around 3000 fans for their first round game... wouldn't be surprised to see nearly as many Cat fans as Irish supporters.
Great video if you haven't seen it yet.

I think any kid would fall into this category. "IF" Kentucky decided to make a change, the important thing would be to have a replacement ready to name almost immediately.
Any feet dragging would probably result in defections.
My gut feeling is a big name caoch brought in and Orton/Hood would still come. Course, I've been wrong before. :

MM just posted a really interesting premium blog that is well worth reading.
True Blue Kentucky is excellent for all fans of Kentucky basketball, or just fans of basketball that love good "insider" information. Tomorrow's game against Notre Dame will be a great match up, especially between Patterson/Gody and Meeks/McAlarney... I say we pick up the win by 5-10 points...
I will add I really thought this KY team might have the Clemson football Music City Bowl attitude of a few years ago. In other words " not really wanting to be there".
This team has really showed they are playing to win. Enjoyed PP chestbumping the fan last night after game as well !
I realize there is less than an hour left, but every Kentucky fan needs to read this. I won't copy and paste the article since it is premium, but it goes along with some of the things Blimpie has posted on here. After reading an article from probably one of the most pro-Gillispie supporters out there, I really think he is on his way out, and it is extremely unfortunate.
It turns my stomach, to be perfectly honest.
Mitch should follow BCG right out the door if this is indeed how things play out.
I'm honestly torn on Mitch right now. Even though he bombed on the Gillispie hire and it right now looks like Gillispie is going to be axed, he has been successful in making other hires (Mickie DeMoss, Matt Mitchell, Rich Brooks when nobody else wanted the job, John Cohen).
I'm hoping the "other" rumor was true about a possible "Basketball AD". Considering it is Kentucky, this wouldn't be a bad idea. Barnhardt could focus on the other programs that he has been successful at and somebody else could oversee restoring the basketball program.
The one thing I do feel somewhat secure in is that I don't believe everything will fall apart like the gloom and doom prognosticators are predicting. I believe if either coach mentioned is brought in that we could keep most of our incoming classes.
Hood=likely to stay regardless. I think he is an in-state kid and he likely wouldn't leave the bench at Louisville.
Orton=would likely stay. Whoever would take over could hire his brother on staff and likely keep him.
Pilgrim=definitely staying. Why transfer again?
Vilarino and Tucker=could be gone. IIRC, they were very close to Gillispie and the reason they chose UK.
Euton and Zollo=with Euton, see Hood. Zollo has relocated to Clark County and would likely follow through as well, but uncertain.
Ferguson=this would be the one we would likely lose that would hurt.
Avery=who knows, but he is a long way off and it is hard to tell how he would likely pan out.
