Yep, that has been my grudge against him for all these years: that he used UK twice with no intention of actually considering the job either time, which is what I have always believed.

I hope he sends Pitino a Christmas card every year, in thanks for sitting out a healthy Derek Anderson. :

and for allowing Nazr Mohammed to clank 5 free throws in OT.

Does anyone know score of UK pre season game?

[WMR]

111-53

[WVRed]

Stats from the game:

Meeks had 27 points and 4 assists.

Patrick Patterson 24 points, 11 boards

The real eye opener: Josh Harrellson 21 points and 12 rebounds in 16 minutes.

Darius Miller and Ramon Harris also saw double figures.

Harrellson looks like the real deal right about now. I know its preseason, but wow.

Harrellson will bee a stud this season, just wait... He will blossom under Gillispie. I know i'm biased and it was an exhibition game against an inferior team, but you have to love the team's chemistry and togetherness! Can't wait for that Nov.18th matchup with the Heels!

Don't start barking too loudly, my friend.

I've already got the cutest little avatar picked out for you and Razor when the Hoosiers get their spanking.

We will see... I know what you're thinking though, who in the world is Josh Harrellson, Deandre Liggins, Darius Miller or Jodie freakin Meeks...If You have never seen Harrellson, Liggins, Miller or a healthy Meeks... I guess you will on Nov.18.... Should be a great match-up!!

Patterson > Hansbrough
Harrellson = Thompson
Harris < Green
Meeks = Ellington
Liggins < Lawson

Bench UK = UNC
Stevenson Davis
Stewart Zeller
Miller Graves
Porter Frasor
Galloway Drew

I have little to no hope for much success this year in Bloomington. Most IU fans understand it's going to take a few years for Crean to get things back on track.

That doesn't mean I can't enjoy the occasional beatdown of the mighty Wildcats.

This is hilarious and delusional. You could argue that Patterson and Hansbrough are at best a push but UNC is superior at every other position including the bench. Given that the game is early and UNC is the more experienced team the odds skew even further away from UK.

UK has potential in a down SEC but youth and inexperience should hurt them in the non-conference slate.

I would probably take Psycho T over Patterson right now. Stevenson will likely be starting over Harrellson also.

The bench no question is advantage UNC. Keep in mind that UNC will be able to run two top big men recruits out to keep Hansborough fresh. Davis and Zeller alone are better than most anybody on Kentucky's bench.

My hope is Kentucky keeps it close, but a little too much optimism to be calling on the Heels.

They are playing in Chapel Hill, right? I just can't see UK winning that one.
