PrintUK will play its first (and only) true road game of the non-conference season Saturday as it takes on a still-rebuilding-but-better-than-last-year Indiana team. I watched most of their game against Pitt and came away impressed by how well they played. UK should still win, but this is a much better team than last year and that combined with it being a true road game and the Cats coming off a big win makes this a dangerous game.

GOG 2009 #09: Indiana [Max 35 Points]
- Who wins the game? [+1 point if correct, -1 point if incorrect] UK
- Does UK win by double digits? [+1 point if correct, -1 point if incorrect] Yes, 90 - 73
- Will Indiana have a lead at any point in the second half? [+1 point if correct, -1 point if incorrect] IU held a brief 48 - 47 lead early in the second half, we all know what happened after that!
- How many points does Indiana have at halftime? [4 pts if correct, 3 pts within one, 2 pts within two, 1 pt within three] 41 points
- How many points does Indiana have at the end of the game? [4 pts if correct, 3 pts within one, 2 pts within two, 1 pt within three] 73 points
- In which half does UK score the most points? [+1 point if correct, -1 point if incorrect] UK was slightly better in the second half scoring 48 points compared to 41 in the first
- Who is the game high scorer (both teams combined)? [3 pts] Maurice Creek led all players with 31 points
- UK had 13 steals against UConn, the most in a game since, well, I'm not really sure but it's probably been a while right? How many times do the Cats swipe the ball from Indiana? [3 pts] 6 steals for the Cats
- Who scores the first points for UK? [3 pts] Fittingly, Eric Bledsoe scored the first two points of the game
- Which team is the first to miss a shot? [+1 point if correct, -1 point if incorrect] UK missed its first shot of the game
- Will we see Good Cuz or Bad Cuz? Predict his offensive rebounds/defensive rebounds/fouls. [2 pts each] Overall it was Good Cuz: 3/5/4 plus an adorable noogie
- This strikes me as the kind of matchup where Josh Harrellson could play well. In fact, Harrellson had a great game against Indiana last year: 15 points (career high), 7 rebounds, 6-12 from the field in 18 minutes. Predict his minutes/points/made field goals. [2 pts each] Boy I was off on this one. I still think this game was a good matchup for Harrellson but it's a testament to how good UK's front line is that he wasn't needed. He finished with 1/0/0
- John Wall is spectacular at many things, including giving the ball back to the opponent (and then stealing it away again). Over or Under 4.5 turnovers for Wall? [+1 point if correct, -1 point if incorrect] Wall was terrific with just 1 turnover for the game
Entries are due by tip-off at 12:00 PM, Saturday December 12.

It is not worth an intelligent man’s time to be in the majority. By definition, there are already enough people to do that.

It's frustrating when you know all the answers, but nobody bothers to ask you the questions.

Let me say
I really appreciate the time and effort JLev puts into running this little contest each game. I love stuff like this, and I’m really enjoying participating.
Thanks, my man!
Thanks Ken
I enjoy thinking up the questions and I’m glad that everyone is enjoying it.
