Pitino denies making obscene gesture at United Kingdom fan
Meanwhile, Pitino has moved to quickly deny reports that he made an obscene gesture to the Wildcats fans while exiting the arena on Saturday. (It) cleared their minds.Alex Poythress scored 14 points for Kentucky.

I find it impossible to tell, personally, even after zooming in on a screenshot of it. Naturally, Kentucky fans will swear that he did, while Louisville fans will swear this is nonsense. Kentucky comes into the matchup ranked at No. 12 while Louisville is sitting at No. 16. Louisville’s bench goes deep in terms of who can score for them.
When Calipari says the right thing, Pitino does the wrong thing. “They do know this is who we have to be and how we have to play – that kind of energy, that kind of aggressiveness, that kind of attack”. We wanted to go inside, or get a good shot.
Kentucky’s second-leading scorer, Isaiah Briscoe, sat out after hurting his ankle during pregame warmups.
As one of four in-state players on Kentucky’s roster, Hawkins was beyond words in being able to describe the feeling of being able to contribute to the team’s win over their biggest state rival. UK’s first six points came off second-chance opportunities, this against a U of L team ranked No. 2 nationally in rebound margin.
United Kingdom was shooting 29.7 percent on 3-pointers and had only 54 makes in 10 prior games, which means it converted double its average output.
“And he never changed his emotion the whole time”, Calipari said when asked about Hawkins’ critical role Saturday. Thirty footers? Really? UofL would contain Jamal Murray to three of them and 12 points.
Sophomore guard Tyler Ulis also was outstanding for the Wildcats, contributing a career-high 21 points (7 of 12 from the field and 3 of 4 at the free throw line), with eight assists and just one turnover in 39 exhausting minutes.
When the Wildcats opened the half against Louisville’s 2-3 zone and immediately ran a flawless high-low entry from forward Poythress to center Marcus Lee, though, they had a double-digit lead and there wasn’t any tangential figure to blame. “We played with a lot more enthusiasm from the start”. Willard has done a few other postgame media ops in Pitino’s place this season – including their only other loss, at Michigan State – but you don’t pull that maneuver here and now. Thompson made three of Kentucky’s five shots from long range, including a 3 at the buzzer to end the first quarter. “He defended, he’ll fight like insane”.

“The first half, we gave up a lot of baskets, a lot of offensive rebounds, a lot of 3s”, Lee said. The Cards will have a week off before opening ACC play and hosting Wake Forest on January 3 at the KFC Yum! The 1-8 comment (Pitino’s record against John Calipari in the UK-UL rivalry) was fine.
