December | 2013 | Louisville's Strange Brew

When I was kid, my dad never forced me to like UK. When I was 5 or 6, he told me to watch how U of L fans acted. I can recall watching my brother-in-law boo and yell during U of L games. He always had a beer in hand and blamed the refs. When UK would beat U of L, they cheated of course. I quickly became a UK fan.

I’m 32 now and nothing has changed. U of L fans are still the worst, most bandwagon and crybaby fanbase on earth. Nothing they say shocks me. I expect stupid and ignorant comments from them. We are seeing that after UK beat them on 12-28-13. UK won, refs cheated. Same old song and dance. Facts and data proves them wrong. Yet, they claim UK cheated.

Unfair fouls? Not at all. The final foul total was 25 on U of L and 19 on UK. That number is misleading. U of L committed 4 of those fouls with less than a minute left on purpose. So in truth, the numbers were 21-19, very, very close. Refs called fouls right down the middle. No cheating what so ever.

U of L shot 39% while UK shot 53%. Do the math.

UK out rebounded U of L by 8.

UK had 17 second chance points while U of L had only 6. Again, do the math.

U of L hit 6 out of 26 three-point shots. Horrible.

U of L was man-handled by Randle who made 7 of his 8 shots.

Now other facts ————

U of L has only played 2 top 50 RPI ranked teams, UNC and UK. U of L lost both games. Maybe U of L isn’t that good.

UK was without Randle in the 2nd half and only made 53% of their free throws. If UK had Randle and made free throws, UK beats U of L by 20-25.

UK has owned U of L since Cal took over. He is 3-0 at Rupp against them, 1-0 on a neutral site and 1-1 at the Yum! Center. He can beat U of L anytime at any venue.

To sum things up, UK didn’t cheat. They out played and out hustled U of L. Data and the facts PROVE UK won fair and square!
