Frankly, I’ll be ok if we don’t play MSU for a while. I’m getting quite tired of them.

Kentucky is acquainted with NCAA violations, so I guess anything is possible. If Kentucky can get Tayshaun Prince an extra game of eligibility I’ll be afraid.

I like our chances against Kentucky and have since I saw the schedule. They are probably the only team we'll see this year who have less experience than we do. They turn the ball over a ton, and are shaky on defense. Wall is obviously great, but there's no one else in the country I'd rather have guarding him than Marcus Ginyard. I also have no fear of them draining a crazy number of 3s. Kentucky should be tough, but there's a lot to like about the matchup. I actually think that we match up pretty well with UK.

By the way, I know the ads on this site are served remotely and THF deserves all the money this site can generate, but it's pretty funny to me to see ads for MSU and NCSU gear pop up after recent posts.

Too much riding on it for them to lose. Two top 10 teams; Savior of program vs defending national champ (and absolutely HATED) Carolina. It's gonna be the most hyped game Rupp has seen in years. It's their national championship. And after our win vs MSU, they'll be ready. Don’t think we’ll beat UK. Too much riding on it for them to lose.

His teams play hard and always seem to excel in defense and rebounding. His program is clean. He annoys me with his sideline whining, but not as much as some others. I love to beat them because of the way they manhandled us back in 99-00. They are always a quality win. Now the next two big games, I want to stomp the teams. Just hate Kentucky (except when playing DOOK) and have no affection for Rick Barnes (though respect his ability to recruit). I think Tom Izzo runs a great program.

I agree with 850inExile aka, the one with a really long name :-). I have a real close friend who works for MSU football in strength and conditioning and he has nothing but good words for Izzo. Izzo coaches fair play and good sportsmanship as well.With that being said, I think THF was more commenting on how frustrating it must be for some of the current MSU players to get better each time we meet and still end up in the same boat. I also look at it as a way to have fun with and not make fun of an opponent that we respect. Nice movie reference THF.

Lets not pile on. I'm glad we beat MSU, but I also have tremendous respect for Tom Izzo. He is very similar to Coach Smith - modest, soft spoken, praises his players instead of himself (and blames himself instead of his players), heavily emphasizes going to class and graduating... There are a lot of similarities in the way both MSU and UNC run their basketball programs. Hey now. Lets not pile on. I’m glad we beat MSU, but I also have tremendous respect for Tom Izzo.
