Really wish Mississippi State would have helped us out by beating Oklahoma and really putting them on the ropes, if not the mat. Now they have something to play for against us and it's back to being a dangerous game.

Sooners also have Ole Miss, Missouri, and Texas in the regular season, then they will be going into the SEC Tournament as such a low seed that their game there is probably going to be against a ranked team.

Beat a depleted Kentucky and win another game the rest of the way and they're locked into the tournament unless there are tons of bid thieves. Their wins over Michigan and Arizona are really going to help them as those teams are finishing the year strong after going through some really rough patches. Their win over Louisville should help as well. Oklahoma has a lot of losses, but the only two that are "bad" are to LSU at home and at Georgia. Other than a loss at Texas, the rest of their losses are to the likes of Auburn, Alabama, Florida, Tennessee, Texas A&M, etc.-- there are just lots of them.

Think the cats pull this one out in a close one. It is one we need to get. The Auburn/Missouri games are bonus if we get the wins but need the Oklahoma and LSU game. Beating Oklahoma gives us the luxury of sitting Robinson and Butler another game or so.

Just like the Vanderbilt game last week, this is yet another one Kentucky needs, they definitely need it and flex some muscle on the road.

I would assume Robinson & Butler are both out, if so, hopefully the role players can step up.

This team is resilient, and I expect them to bounce back in Norman. Oweh had by far his most ineffective of game of the season against Alabama. He should come into this game with a little bit of chip on his shoulder especially playing his former team and coach at Oklahoma.

Really glad to see a positive update from Mark Pope yesterday about Butler and Robinson returning to practice. We need to continue to tread water and not rush back their returns. We win this game on the road, and it probably buys us another week at least for those two guys to get as close to 100% as possible before the SEC tournament.

Expecting lots of points both ways tonight. Only being favored by 2.5 points seems pretty ominous as well.

Only encouraging sign coming into this one is the shellacking that Alabama put on Mississippi State (who just lost to the Sooners) last night.

If I'm picking an upset tonight, it's Maryland over Michigan State, but that doesn't mean that Oklahoma won't put #10 on our record.

Cats get back on the winning track. Cats by 7

Got UK @-3.5 when Robinson and Butler announced as starters and saw pic of the arena looking about half full 10 minutes before game time.
