Rick Pitino appears to flip-off Kentucky fans
The Wildcats, now 10-2, will enter conference play on a high note after losing at UCLA and then in Brooklyn to an underwhelming Ohio State team in the run-up to the rivalry game.

In this week’s Top 25, six top-10 teams and 14 teams in the poll have seniors as leading scorers – and in some cases there’s more than one in a leading role.
United Kingdom is 17-7 vs. UofL when the Cardinals are ranked. Now the Wildcats return home to Rupp arena where they have been near unbeatable over the past several seasons. Ulis’ right-wing 28 footer at the shot clock buzzer extended the Wildcats’ lead to four with 4:58 to go.
If you like the flash of a steady procession of future NBA stars passing through Rupp Arena year after year, the current time is as good for you as Kentucky basketball will ever likely be.
Twice after Louisville pulled within two in the last five minutes, Kentucky hit a big 3-pointer – one by Tyle Ulis and another from Dominique Hawkins. Hawkins hit a clutch 3-pointer and made two free throws in the final three minutes to keep the Wildcats in front.For me to have the game I did today, it was a blessing.
Louisville closed the deficit to one point wit 5:34 left, but Kentucky guard Tyler Ulis hit a three-pointer on the following possession to extend the lead back to four. In a game that his team needed to win, he came up huge.
Adding to the honors, ESPN’s Andy Katz named Kentucky his team of the week for their win over Louisville.
“It was a great team performance and we came out with a lot of energy from the jump ball” Ulis said.
With a week to prepare for Louisville and Rick Pitino’s favorite defense, the matchup 2-3 zone, the Cats were going to have to shoot better and definitely attack the zone better.
The basketball rivalry between the University of Kentucky and the University of Louisville heats up this weekend, with the teams facing off at noon on Saturday in Lexington. Luis had 21 points and 8 assists for Kentucky. He scored six straight points as United Kingdom opened the second half on an 8-0 run and assisted on the other basket in the sequence. “Let’s be classy, and I expect that’s how they’ll be in this game”. “He defended, he’ll fight like insane, he’s got a great temperament, a great demeanor”, Calipari said. Only Clair Bee, who earned 200 wins in his first 231 games at LIU-Brooklyn from 1931-41, did it faster. “That kind of energy, that kind of aggressiveness, that kind of attack, that kind of loose offense, how we played”, Calipari said. Skal Labissiere remained the invisible man. Isaiah Briscoe didn’t play after injuring an ankle during pregame warmups.

Statistics show that Kentucky loses when their opponents shoot higher than 50 percent from the field, when they are out-rebounded, and when their opponents score more than 80 points.
