- Calipari has done a great job of coaching the team this year, and it's going to be very interesting to see how he handles the Cat's first loss. I think he knows how to motivate a team as well as any coach in the nation, and the boys will be poised and ready to play in front of the home crowd.
- A lot of talk about Facebook over the past couple of days, most notably by Patrick Patterson, who was very upset at the way some "fans" lashed out at the him and his teammates following the loss to South Carolina on their Facebook pages. I think it's safe to say that some of these people were sick individuals who pose as UK fans only to bring down the young men who give their heart and soul to the Kentucky basketball program, and hopefully, the players realize that. However, I think it's also safe to say that there are some crazy fans out there who really were distraught and suicidal after seeing our undefeated season end on Tuesday night, which is scary.
- I'm looking for John Wall and Patterson to really assert themselves today against a Vandy team coming off a big win against in-state rival Tennessee earlier in the week. The Commodores have a bigger squad than most of the teams we've faced up until this point, but I still think Patterson can have a stellar performance. Wall needs to force the tempo and get to the free throw line, and I think Calipari will let him know that.
I would be really concerned about this game if it were being played in Nashville, but I think the BBN will rise to the occasion and help end the Cats' one-game losing streak.
Cats by six.
