Courier Journal staff picks
Lucas Aulbach, U of L men's basketball beat reporter: I want to pick Louisville. But weird things happen in this rivalry, and while this isn’t a must-win for the Wildcats, it’s pretty close for a December game. I don’t know how UK stops Jordan Nwora, but Ashton Hagans excels defensively at everything Louisville struggles against. And in the Calipari era, I have to see the Cards win to believe it. Kentucky 66, Louisville 62
