Top 25 Shake Up: UK and UofL are on the Rise

Due to just about every team in the top 10 losing this weekend, there are some local teams rising to the top. I also have in this little segment Joe Lunardi's latest bracket and picks for Louisville's game tonight as well as UK's game tomorrow.

-Kentucky moves back into the top ten at number ten, right behind a Notre Dame team that the Cats throttled earlier this season. The Cards move from number twenty three to number fifteen thanks to beating number five UConn at home. The biggest drop was by Syracuse. The went from nine to seventeen after they have just lost four in a row.

-Joe Lunardi has also updated his bracket and has the Cats as a team on the rise. This week the Cats are a 3 seed, up one spot from last week. The Dirty Birdies also rose all the way to a four seed in his brackets. That fifteen point beat down the Cats gave the Cards in the Bucket is looking better and better. The number one seeds right now are Ohio State, Texas, Pittsburgh and Kansas. Not arguments here at this point.

-There ain't no rest for the weary as Louisville goes on the road tonight to play a Georgetown team that was fighting for it's life after it lost four out of it's first five Big East games. Now the Hoya's are on a tear and have reeled off four in a row, it's most impressive win coming Saturday at #8 Villanova.

The Hoyas are #13 in the latest AP poll. The way Louisville has been playing I would say the game is evenly matched. The game against UConn was amazing and emotionally draining. But the Cards have been doing this all season long battling injuries and a lack of talent. I think the Cards can pull off another big road win...but not tonight. They lose a close one 80-77.

-The Cats don't play again until Tuesday night when they face a cream puff Ole Miss team. I'm not going to BS anybody by saying they are good, because they aren't. They are 13-8 overall and 1-5 in the conference. But we have seen the Cats lose to a bad team on the road (ALAFREAKINBAMA!!!), so it's not impossible.

But Calipari is trying to get more out of his older guys and the way Darius Miller and Deandre Liggins have been playing, I think they are getting the message. I think the Cats will roll 83-60 tomorrow night. The next big test comes Saturday at Florida.

Enjoy the Louisville vs. Georgetown game tonight!
