I don't know about you, but I started thinking about the Cards after UK went up 24-0 against UCLA. Louisville might have been looking ahead as well, as they struggled to fight off the scrappy Western Kentucky Hilltoppers earlier today. Rick Pitino and company were able to leave Bowling Green with a win behind Rozier's 32 points, but they'll have to play Cal State Northridge on Tuesday before going up against the Cats. Originally, it looked like the Cards were lucky to have that game before UK, as it appeared that Harrell's ejection would lead to a suspension, but Jeff Goodman reports that that isn't necessarily the case.

Because the foul was a flagrant 2, and not a fighting ejection, there is no automatic suspension. The ACC, university, and coaching staff are able to review the incident to decide upon suspensions. But no matter the case, it doesn't appear that it will lead to Harrell missing more than one game, if any. Personally, I want to see Montrezl on the court next Saturday, as I want Louisville at full strength to avoid any excuses after a loss. CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein is already calling the match-up one of the "most anticipated in a long time."

A win next Saturday will make Kentucky the winners in 7 of the last 8, and 10 of the last 13 games against "little brother."
