UK - 92
Arky - 68

Cats by 3. Arkansas will finally play the way everyone expected them to. Not enough though.

I obviously think UK wins, but what I"ve seen from Arkansas, UK is going to get a lead in the first half but by the second half Arkansas is going to put on some clamp down defense. They can play it when they want to. UK will need to keep the offense going when Arkansas decides to flip the switch.

I think UK by 5. 87-83

As crazy as it sounds, with all of the actions UK runs, Calipari will have to switch to a zone. He has no idea how to scout our offense.

that would actually be hilarious to me (unless they won)

Like it or not they have more talented players, higher ranked players. However, we have Pope and his staff and bunch of players that are enjoying playing for Pope and BBN.

How are they more talented? DJ Wagner was a top 5 recruit 2 years ago, but would you take him, or Oweh?
Davis played great 2 years ago, but would you take him, or Jaxson?
Big Z is okay, but are you taking him over Williams?
Aidoo sucks, you taking him over Garrison?
Thiero is a dog, I think we take him over Almonor, but would you be surprised if Almonor scored more points?
Brazille isn't anything special.

Where is all this talent? On paper, two years ago, sure, but all these guys are struggling in Cal's awful system.

What you're afraid of, is these guys catching fire all the sudden. Well, yeah, I guess that's possible, but none of them have done that this season and if they start hitting 3's early, just give it a minute, they can't sustain that.

Oof, if we let Arkansas score 83, we suck. They couldn't do that even when they had Fland. Without him, they can't even get to 70 at home.

Majority of these guys re struggling because they play for Cal. Wagner, Thiero and especially Z would have shine in a system like Pope.

Our best player is Oweh who is just a more experienced Knox or Richmond type of player.

Pope would have been in final 4 with Kentucky last year roaster,

It's not just Cal's system, they legit can't shoot.

Also, we don't have a best player, we have a true team where each player has multiple skill sets that make them very good at the roles they play.
