Tom Crean looks like a character in Jim Henson's the Muppets. Cats win by 11.

UK by 14...

Yea.... thus they have to prove that the first game wasn't a fluke. That's just how I see it.

What does the first game matter? IU doesn't have to prove anything. At this point both teams are 0-0. The first game means nothing.

 

Not sure why most are chaulking this one up to a blow out. This one should be close.

I'm in the camp that UK wins by close to 20. However, I do agree that the pressure is all on UK to prove the first game was a fluke, not IU to prove the opposite. They'll handle it though.

I believe the pay-back emotion will be riding high for UK to start the game. This will last to the first time out or if a Wildcat starter picks up two quick fouls and goes to the bench. Then it will settle down. The Hoosiers keep it to within single digits until eight or ten minutes left. UK goes on patented run and posts a 14 pt victory. After a disappointing first game with Indiana, Jones scores 20+ and Miller, Davis, and Lamb all hit 14+.

Why does Indiana have to prove anything? Everyone expects Kentucky to win.

 

It's the NCAA Tournament. If you lose your season is over. Any team that is not just happy to be there feels tremendous pressure.

Tom Crean looks like Dwight Schrute.

 

Think about what all had to happen for Indiana to win the first game.

 

- Assembly Hall was a crazy atmosphere, no happening this time.

- Terrence Jones was a no show, no happening this time.

- Anthony Davis got in early foul trouble, hasn't had more than 3 fouls in a game since.

- Indiana hit 7 straight threes. 7 straight, not happening again.

- UK missed multiple free throws down the stretch

- and with all of that IU needed a three at the buzzer to win.

 

UK wins this one by double figures, maybe triple figures:D. Too say there is no pressure on Indiana is short sighted. It's the NCAA tournament, every game is pressure packed.

I believe that the Wildcats avenge their loss from earlier, but I believe it's closer than many are thinking.

UK opened as an 8 point favorite and the line has moved to 8.5 already.

Sadly the Cats will win this one big.

Paybacks are hell the Cats will roll!

UK by 14...
