Cats in a close one. I'll say by 3. They better hope to contain Downey, or hope he has an off night though. Of course it would be nuts to play some zone and help on the penetration. :jump:

Kentucky by larger than many think.

 

'Cats 77-68

What is leading people to pick UK? USC outplayed the Cats in Rupp, and is a pretty tough team at home. Just curious why so many people are so confident in this one?

That's an excellent question. I think most people are picking with their hearts, as they did in the Vandy prediction thread.

I'll answer for me. I always pick UK & yes, I pick with my heart. As for USC outplaying the Cats in Rupp, the score was South Carolina 78, Kentucky 77 which was the second game of a 3 game losing streak for Kentucky. I just feel UK will be up to the task of beating SC on their home court to give them a little of their own medicine.

Contain Downey, and the cats win this one. Don't contain Downey, and a loss is on the way. I would put Deandre Liggins on Downey and wear him out!

Wear Downey out? That's a good one...

As they did in the Tennessee thread too right?

The funnier part is saying that Liggins would do it.

The Cats are coming off one of their best performances of the year as a team. Sorry for being optimistic.

What's with the rolling of the eyes? The UT and Georgia games were the two games I counted on UK winning. Some people would pick UK to beat the Boston Celtics. They are picking from their hearts.

Kentucky 77

South Carolina 67

 

I'm being optimistic.

It's the spin on everything that is hilarious. UK beats Arkansas and it was because Arkansas had a couple players missing, even though Pat was out also. UK loses to Vandy and you are right about how bad they are without the mention of Patterson missing.

They are nothing more than an average basketball team, that's a fact. I don't see how that's spinning anything?

UK wins - It's because Arkansas is missing a player

UK loses - It's because they are that bad.

 

That is called a spin.

 

I agree that they are average. Calling people out for picking them over a South Carolina team that is also average is pretty funny.
