Jay Bilas will be on the call when Kentucky and Louisville meet in the Yum Center on Saturday, but first, he has a scouting report over on ESPN.com.
The Bilastrator took a long look at the two teams and determined each side’s three keys to victory. For Kentucky, Bilas says take care of the ball, get back on D and get second chances after missed shots. For Louisville, Bilas says force turnovers, crash the boards and make open shots.
He also wrote, “If Cauley-Stein is assigned to Harrell, it could be a difficult game for the Louisville big man. Cauley-Stein has been the nation’s best defender this season, and has guarded everyone from Providence’s LaDontae Henton to Texas’ Jonathan Holmes. Harrell is a player of the year candidate, but the question is, who else does he have alongside him to combat the deep and gigantic Kentucky front line? Louisville is thinner up front, in size and numbers, than Kentucky.”
Read the entire scouting report here, insider only.

WCS is a big key to the game like article points out and he and his teammates can slow down Harrell the Cats will win.

We should beat them no doubt about it "but" it is Louisville, Pitino, and the Yum Center.

MH,
The last time we played there was the worst team of the Cal era, and the Cards won the national championship that year. Even then, the dirty birds only beat us by 3 points.
I am not too worried about this game, honestly.

You guys talk about the game being in the YUM Center. I thought it was the Kentucky Fried Cardinal center, at least that has been my name for it ever since it opened.

PLAYERS SHOULD NOT WORRY ABOUT THE REFS, PLAY THEIR GAME SEE HOW REFS ARE CALLING IT, AND PLAY. REFS WILL NOT DECIDE THIS GAME. IF WE KY DONT TAKE VILLES FANS OUT OF GAME EARLY, COULD BE A LONG EVENING, AS FAR AS BILAS, HES A DOOKIE AND THATS ALL I GOT TO SAY ABOUT HIM, IMO HE BUILDS KY UP, HOPING FOR FAILURE. JMO

That first time the Willie or Towns blocks one of Harrell's shots that arena will be so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Other than the UK crowd. The blue fans in the stands will go NUTS!!

Bilas is a non factor in the game and the way to get around him if he bothers you is turn down the sound.
