Kentucky 80-56.

NKU is going to need Carson Williams to have a "Larry Bird like" game to win.

 

Nice one

This thought has been going thru my mind all day...will UK get 100 against NKU??? I think there is better than a 60% chance they could.

NKU is gonna have a pretty decent sized crowd there I'm betting.

 

They would've had the most support in Indy if they played Louisville in the 1st round. :lol:

NKU playing UK is counter productive in the fight to build a larger fan base across the bluegrass. If by some strike of God they beat UK then they will be hated by a large majority of the state. Now if they had been playing Louisville or Duke and beat them, they would revered as folk heroes for generations.

Couldn't disagree more. If NKU beats UK, I'm not going to be upset at NKU, I'd be more upset at UK and Coach Cal for allowing it to happen which is what most intelligent fans in the state would feel also.

You don't actually believe that do you?

I'll be very surprised if they put up 100.

 

I'm thinking 83-65 as the final.

UK will beat NKU by more than 18...more like 29 or more.

We'll see Friday. Kentucky is a 19.5 point favorite, so my 18 point spread is much more in line with the experts than 29.

The only way NKU stays within 18 of UK, is if UK takes their foot off the gas and plays the bench 12-15 minutes. Then it would be a 18 point spread, but if the starters play 30 minutes or more, than it will be more in line with the 29+ spread.

Okay.

 

I'll still go with the opinions of the guys who make a living setting the lines.

They are basing that line on that UK will get up by more than 25 and will play the bench which reduces the line by 7-8 and brings it to the 19.5 line.

So whose going to be closer to being right when UK wins by 20? You or UKMF?

 

The conversation isn't how big the lead will get, it's what is the final score.

I've been saying this was the best draw NKU could get, this explains it better:

Right. I'm predicting the final score, not what the lead may get to. No one cares about that.
