[KevinHall]

The game is about 12 hours away. I'm tired of all the talk! I am ready for a game! Lets ball!!! (drops mic)

[JFCats22]

Gonna be a long day and LONG night....I am nervous. Hope our guys are ready!

Been lots of talk and lots of people hyping up "Press Virginia" and how they can/will beat Kentucky.

All week I have been ready to vomit up my shoes with anxiety about this game. (If we weren't undefeated I probably would be fine) Once WVA started to talk a little smack, I felt much better.

So far, every time this year when we had a big game that had the teams full attention, we have played at a high level. I hope that is the case tonight.

Welcome to the board, jmart1974!

This should be on the board in the locker room..........

Per Daxter Miles...."they don't play hard, tomorrow they are gonna be 36-1"

If that doesn't make you want to go out and thump a team I don't know what would.

[J.Jennings]

I have been up since 5 am this morning and started interviewing applicants at 7 am this morning. With this late game, it's going to be a long day. If Cats play like they are capable, it will well worth it.............

Nervous.....plan to have my bottle of Jim B beside me and take a shot at every 5 minute mark that we're behind. Hopefully, I'll be sober by the end, but if not, the pain won't be to great.

You're doin' it backwards. A shot at every 5 minute mark we're ahead..........

Wonder what the crowd is going to be like? After Nashville and then Louisville last weekend I wonder how many UK fans will be in Cleveland. I have a friend who is there and said the attendance at the practice yesterday was just ok and said he hasn't seen all that many UK fans out and about. Now, the weather is crappy and there isn't much to do in Cleveland so maybe that's why he hasn't seen that many. I am sure BBN will represent like they always do but it may not be the overwhelming numbers like it usually is.

Feel a little anxiety but no more than usual. I think UK will be focused and ready to play. Hope we attack and get up big quickly making WVU Second guess what they are doing. Then we will have them right where we want them. My biggest concern will be someone getting hurt going for the lob or big dunk. I think the way WVU is talking they will try to take legs out from under anyone of our guys jumping. Hope we are ready for some more nasty play.

I'd say it's going to be pretty spare.

Yesterday I was watching some of the Cornell Sweet Sixteen game from 2010 in Syracuse. The announcers noted a few times how the crowd was intensely against us, and as you watch the game there's almost the sense that it's a road game. You can see just a little bit of blue in the stands.

I'd assume Saturday will be better if we win, because a lot of folks will drive up, but I wouldn't expect that many tonight.

Its snowing in Cleveland. It actually looks more like London on winters day. From tweet pictures you can hardly see anything for all the fog.
