Watching this 9 years later blows my mind because I forgot how good their defense was full court pressure all game and to start the game they will suffocate you with all the energy they had now we don’t have have an AD we have no president and the coach quit on us mid season
Either way, I give credit to Louisville. They are truly and excellent team and deserved the win. Louisville players and Pitino were had nothing but good things to say about our team and that means a lot. The things the said in there interviews after the game really earned my respect. Good luck
But on a serious note the hardest thing to watch about Kentucky is Alex poythress the amount of god given abilities this guy posses and then his major lackadaisical approach and. he has no aggressiveness at times (other than some thunderous dunks he shows every now and then)what so ever. OBVIOUSLY hes 19 and its the very early in this kids career to tell whether hes gonna change but if he does boy, can he be a talent. 240 body nice touch, hits a great percentage of threes.ALEX BE A BEAST FOR FS
80-77 is an ironic stat, because the last time Kentucky lost, it was a 3 point game (74-71, Freedom Hall - Jan 4, 2009). The previous game, Kentucky lost at home by 14 (89-75). As for the Cards, they made the Elite 8 both in '08 (lost to #1 UNC) and '09 (lost to #2 Michigan State, which is obviously why the selection committee put the Spartans in our bracket this past season).
scoring 15+ points doesn't change the fact that he was not creating plays for the rest of his teammates, i agree that they shudnt have been so close with all the freethrows they missed, but Harrow wasn't even bring the ball up the court in the full court press most of the time, i just think he needs to lead the team better, and when u look at the production of players like Goodwin, Mays and Poythress earlier its clear that they arent getting the looks they want now
As a UK fan I was not really that mad after the loss. Louisville is either the best or second best team in the nation, on their home court and the constant reminder of the 4 game losing streak. I will take that final four victory over Louisville over losing a regular season game to them. Pitinos best team at Louisville and the worst UK team since Cal has been here and they STILL barely beat us. It wont change the one sided rivalry this has become. This year is the exception, not the rule
I know a W is a W, but lets face it Louisville is not playing like a #3 team, they almost got beat by Kentucky, and we had just made it back into the top 25, they should of at least beaten Kentucky by more than 3 points. really it should've been a blow out. deff not hating, just speaking the truth. Go Big Blue :)
A big part of coaching is recruiting, and Cal gets his job done when it comes to that. Your right, Cal gets people who are projected to be good, please tell me what is wrong with that. BTW... Kentucky is going to have one Hell of a squad next year.
Harrow's inability to play the point guard position well is killing Kentucky! Goodwin, Mays and Poythress are really suffering from it, and this team has no chance at an NCAA title if he keeps playing like this
First, I want to say Kentucky Athletics only care about Kentucky Basketball, because Kentucky is a basketball loving state. Second, he might not be the best coach, but he is the best recruiter. P.S. No coach could have put last years Kentucky team into line, they were "uncoachable".
Wheres is that pressure DEFENSE NOW!!!IF COACH MACK EXTENDS THAT DEFENSE THIS YEAR THE WAY RICK DID FOR YEARS NO BODY ABSOLUTELY NO TEAM WOULD BEAT UOFL THIS YEAR!!!
Louisville basically returns everyone except siva and dieng. lmk who you like more.. A returning final four (2012) Championship (2013) team or a group of awesome freshman..
everything that had to go right for UK to win (foul trouble for Siva, Russ and Dieng, poor 3 pt shooting from louisville, good 3 pt shooting from UK and getting to the line a lot for UK) happened, and U of L still won
you vant be serious about harrow not being a good pg. you have to use some sense and know that of course goodwin poythress and mays stats are gonna go down now because THEY ARE ACTUALLY PLAYING GOOD TEAMS NOW. Of course theyre gonna get buckets on mid majors and d3 teams. Now theyre playing RANKED TEAMS and their stats will dip a little
wow ok lol, look 1st i never said Harrow played bad, I think he's a good player and 15pts at the D1 level is great. But just look at it this way: Harrow's ability to create plays for his teammates (as point guards do) vs Harrow's ability to create plays for himself. He's just not that good at creating plays for his teammates
If Cal is such "great" recruiter why would he get an "uncoachable" team. Give me a break.He can only shine in the light if he has the best 5 guys in the nation out there. Give Pitino and Cal a group of 10 awful guys at the beginning of the year and id bet ever $ to my name that Pitino's squad would wear out Cals.Like you said, Pitino is a coach, Cal is just a recruiter willing to buy out the best of the best coming out of High School.. BTW.. Louisville is returning one hell of a squad next year.
That's a great statement to make when you lose. The truth is, U of L was the best team all year long. Had this year's team played last year's UK team it would have been a dead heat. Nice try though.
CellarDoorx06 Yep, Stoops called the right game plan when he had UK come out in thug mode. I ain't mad, clever call. Took the Louisville players right out of their mindset.
CellarDoorx06 I don't know because I haven't heard much about the UK recruiting trail this year. However, Louisville has a bunch of experienced guys who transferred and were not available last year so it will be interesting.
No they were not, they were the best of the worst, I wouldn't think of calling them "good" well a Louisvilles standard of being good is much lower then what Kentuckys is. Just wait till next year.
STFU ASSHOLE!!!!! U SHOW DIDNT EVEN WATCH THE GAME BCS IF U DID U WOULDNT BE SAYING THT DUMBASS SHIT BCS WE KICKED UR ASS!!!!!!!!!!!! SHOULD HAVE WON BY 50!!!!! IF WE WANTED TO I SWEAR U UK FANS ARE SUCH ASSHOLES AND GONNA SAY OH WE SHOULD HAVE ONE THT GAME EVEN WHEN WE BEAT THE SHIT OUTTA U!!!!!!!! JS SHUT UR DUMBASS UP!!!!!!! CARDS OWN UK!!!!!! ALWAYS HAVE !!!!!! ALWAYS WILL!!!!!! GO CARDS !!!!KEEP KICKING UK ASS!!!!
HAHA! Who beat Louisville in the final four in 2012, to then go on and win their 8th National Championship? If you need a hint your watching the game. Like I already said, the NCAA sucked last year, there really was no power team, Louisville just won the championship. They should have lost to Duke, and they were going to lose to duke until Ware got hurt, then Louisville got a free ride the rest of the game and even tournament. I know it is horrible he got hurt, I do, but it helped Louisville.
Yeah, watching UL come back and win from behind in a lackluster NCAA tournament last year was cute. At least their first games were in Rupp Arena, that way Russ and co. know where to go when it's time to fetch water for the Harrisons and Randle.
Obviously Kentucky is better than louisville. its simple math 7000ironman, 8 championships is more than 3. unless you and your cards in da ville want to check my math. the only good people you have are smith, behanan, maybe ware, and maybe blackshear. the only reason they are good is because they aren't a bunch of freshman and they are experienced. if our freshman screw up we have more to replace them. have fun when you come to Rupp Arena. i am so with you UK#1
***** they got lucky. And UK made it to the championship this year for a five freshman lineup in the tournament. Even though they lost, its still a very good accomplishment.
Please tell me how Kentucky sucks, they won the championship, and the other teams could do ANYTHING they wanted to because the referees were working against Kentucky every game. You may not like Kentucky, but saying they suck is just dumb. 8 Titles and most all time wins. They may not be good this year, but no team is really good this year, regardless of what their rank is.
I love how UL fans act as though they blew UK out of the water last year. They barely won by 3, and Siva had to foul out in the process. UK held their own down in the post, and that was with Wiltjer playing significant minutes. The 13-14 squad is going to tear the Cards up this year. UK fans should be more worried about Mich St than the defending national champs that are just trying to stay halfway as relevant now that the usual teams are going to be really good again.
If the 12-13 UL team played the 11-12 UK team, Kentucky would win easily. Either way, you don't get what I am saying, no team was ever really good this whole season. The #1 ranked team kept losing to unranked teams. So that says no team was really good.
Remember back in Cal's first, second, and third year when UL fans would talk about how they'd rather have their age and experience over UK's highly touted freshmen? Remember how UK would go on to beat UL? Remember how UK stepped over UL in 2012 on their way to title 8? Remember how UL barely got past a shitty awful version of UK last year to break the losing streak? Go on, continue to explain how Russ and JUCO guy are going to outshine the Harrisons.
That "super team" played a decent game and did exactly what they were expected by everyone watching to do. We didn't have to foul anyone out to break a losing streak. Who exactly do you think isn't cleared to play? Sorry, it was UL that just lost its top 2 recruits for next year. Don't worry, we'll supply your fans with enough malt liquor to ease their sorrows after Dec. 28.
Of course you aren't scared of many top teams this year. UK is the only one you really have to play hahaha. I'm pretty sure that if I wanted to figure out what's going on in "da ville" as you say, I'd have to call someone in "da ville." Damn, I think after typing that debauching of the English language I can feel a shitty line beard growing in.
Playing time an issue? And nothing to write home about? hahahahahaha. The UL fans were so butt hurt when he came to UK over UL. They even said that they would have gone all the way that year if he had gone with them. Sure, he's nothing to write home about. He was just an NBA caliber point guard who played a key role in getting a team predominantly made up of underclassmen to a national title as a freshman.
Ok, go look at your 09 football season. Now please, continue to elaborate on how UL has such a storied football tradition. We "was living" in the past? Kid, pay attention in English class.
Scared them off? Hahahahahahahaha. Yeah, just like I'm sure Marquis Teague didn't go to UL because he was "scared off" hahahahahaha Sorry, but it looks like Pitino tried taking a run at top notch recruits and it didn't exactly pan out. Please, go ahead and give a response featuring unfounded accusations against Calipari for cheating.
It was weak. The best games were the ones involving cinderella teams like FGC knocking off bigger teams. Please, continue to only reference UK in the 12-13 season even though you're commenting on a page with a game where UK stepped over UL on the way to #8. Be sure to not mention the fact that since Cal took over UL is 1-4 against UK, and UL couldn't even soundly defeat our horribly shitty team last year. If that's all you could do against them, then best of luck with the 13-14 guys.
I'm glad that the NY Times printing a piece about your school made you feel like big boys. Keep joking about how you've beaten us in football for 3 years now. Before that, we beat you for 4 years. But no, looking back more than a season isn't convenient for UL fans. Hell, it'll be the year 2030 and you'll still be talking about that one year when basically all of your sports were good for a year. Hahahahaha
Racist? Because I presumed that you adhere to a particular sub-culture? Sorry, kid, but the race card has failed you this time. But please, go ahead and call me a "hilljack" and other derogatory things like I've seen you do on other comment threads. Oh, someone wrote an article about Louisville being better than Kentucky? How cute.
proud of my cards winning this game. Thanks for posting man
Watching this 9 years later blows my mind because I forgot how good their defense was full court pressure all game and to start the game they will suffocate you with all the energy they had now we don’t have have an AD we have no president and the coach quit on us mid season
the beauty of college bball between rivalries and fans is trash talk.
I keep watching this over and over hoping that Cauley-Stein will make the damn free-throws......
Either way, I give credit to Louisville. They are truly and excellent team and deserved the win. Louisville players and Pitino were had nothing but good things to say about our team and that means a lot. The things the said in there interviews after the game really earned my respect. Good luck
But on a serious note the hardest thing to watch about Kentucky is Alex poythress the amount of god given abilities this guy posses and then his major lackadaisical approach and. he has no aggressiveness at times (other than some thunderous dunks he shows every now and then)what so ever. OBVIOUSLY hes 19 and its the very early in this kids career to tell whether hes gonna change but if he does boy, can he be a talent. 240 body nice touch, hits a great percentage of threes.ALEX BE A BEAST FOR FS
Down 7 with seconds to go. Cats were not in this game at the end. The 4-point play is meaningless. Great win, Cards!!!
80-77 is an ironic stat, because the last time Kentucky lost, it was a 3 point game (74-71, Freedom Hall - Jan 4, 2009). The previous game, Kentucky lost at home by 14 (89-75). As for the Cards, they made the Elite 8 both in '08 (lost to #1 UNC) and '09 (lost to #2 Michigan State, which is obviously why the selection committee put the Spartans in our bracket this past season).
please dont let afew bad apples ruin it for everyone. thanks for the uploads.
It was 76-71, but in the Elite 8 we gave Duke what was perhaps their biggest loss since playing at Ohio State (11/29/11, Duke lost 85-63).
Just wondering when are you gonna upload the East Michigan Game?
scoring 15+ points doesn't change the fact that he was not creating plays for the rest of his teammates, i agree that they shudnt have been so close with all the freethrows they missed, but Harrow wasn't even bring the ball up the court in the full court press most of the time, i just think he needs to lead the team better, and when u look at the production of players like Goodwin, Mays and Poythress earlier its clear that they arent getting the looks they want now
1:30
Spoiler alert... We ran the town that night
Go cards
great upload man! thanks
Perfect song before the game.
As a UK fan I was not really that mad after the loss. Louisville is either the best or second best team in the nation, on their home court and the constant reminder of the 4 game losing streak. I will take that final four victory over Louisville over losing a regular season game to them.

oh what fantastic players on both sides
A big part of coaching is recruiting, and Cal gets his job done when it comes to that. Your right, Cal gets people who are projected to be good, please tell me what is wrong with that.
BTW... Kentucky is going to have one Hell of a squad next year.
Harrow's inability to play the point guard position well is killing Kentucky! Goodwin, Mays and Poythress are really suffering from it, and this team has no chance at an NCAA title if he keeps playing like this
Mays needs to come off the bench and play similar to Darrius Miller Last year.So they can play Goodwin at the 2 Guard
First, I want to say Kentucky Athletics only care about Kentucky Basketball, because Kentucky is a basketball loving state. Second, he might not be the best coach, but he is the best recruiter.
P.S. No coach could have put last years Kentucky team into line, they were "uncoachable".
bad calls, missed free throws, turnovers, and an overall lack of intensity. recipe for disaster.
Wheres is that pressure DEFENSE NOW!!!IF COACH MACK EXTENDS THAT DEFENSE THIS YEAR THE WAY RICK DID FOR YEARS NO BODY ABSOLUTELY NO TEAM WOULD BEAT UOFL THIS YEAR!!!
Where was Poythress???
Cards all the way!!!! :-)
yessirrrrrr go cards!
True, a correction on my part.
Louisville basically returns everyone except siva and dieng. lmk who you like more.. A returning final four (2012) Championship (2013) team or a group of awesome freshman..
If I have to remove one more disrespectful comment from this video I'm disabling them all together. Tone it down.
everything that had to go right for UK to win (foul trouble for Siva, Russ and Dieng, poor 3 pt shooting from louisville, good 3 pt shooting from UK and getting to the line a lot for UK) happened, and U of L still won
you vant be serious about harrow not being a good pg. you have to use some sense and know that of course goodwin poythress and mays stats are gonna go down now because THEY ARE ACTUALLY PLAYING GOOD TEAMS NOW. Of course theyre gonna get buckets on mid majors and d3 teams. Now theyre playing RANKED TEAMS and their stats will dip a little
we want AP!
Why hate on harrow I don't understand
YES
nice game
behanans a beast
4th title here we come redbirds baby
The Final 4 game last season was much more meaningful and funner to watch....just sayin... ;)
wow ok lol, look 1st i never said Harrow played bad, I think he's a good player and 15pts at the D1 level is great. But just look at it this way: Harrow's ability to create plays for his teammates (as point guards do) vs Harrow's ability to create plays for himself.

watch the 2003 game between the two. thats what Kentucky will be like on Saturday.
Hey good call man. Hopefully Behanan will be good for you guys the rest of the season. Oh wait..
Man. Louisville and Pitino will mess their drawls when We stomp in the "Chicken Bucket" after Christmas time! #GOBIGBLUE !!!
Just like you did in football this year? Lol! No bowl for you!
***** Hah, very clever. It was a better Game than I figured it'd be however! ;)
CellarDoorx06 Yep, Stoops called the right game plan when he had UK come out in thug mode. I ain't mad, clever call. Took the Louisville players right out of their mindset.
How do You think the 2015 Cats are going to End up stacking up this coming Football Season?
CellarDoorx06 I don't know because I haven't heard much about the UK recruiting trail this year. However, Louisville has a bunch of experienced guys who transferred and were not available last year so it will be interesting.
Whoever said gonzaga was goin to the championship looks dumb.

Exactly who was a top notch, dominant team last year? Please, I'm curious what you have to say.
HAHA! Who beat Louisville in the final four in 2012, to then go on and win their 8th National Championship? If you need a hint your watching the game.
Like I already said, the NCAA sucked last year, there really was no power team, Louisville just won the championship.

Ya but UCLA is UCLA, it's not UK. You sound like a UL fan then.
***** they got lucky. And UK made it to the championship this year for a five freshman lineup in the tournament. Even though they lost, its still a very good accomplishment.
Lawrence Durgasingh you're embarrassed to say that you're a UL fan.
Ok but UCLA I would say is better than UL
UL > UK
GO CATS #BBN
