ESPN has Clemson favored over Kentucky Tues night

Tough road game and they are solid …it’s definitely a game we could drop but if we can shoot reasonably well and pressure defensively, win the battle of the boards, we win at Clemson

I want to see Pope take some risks to win games. Keep our opponents on their feet.

The strategy should at least be better than calipari taking the ultimate risk which is not taking many risks at all.

Playing it safe and not adapting will cause a team to lose a game.
 
Yet UK is undefeated and beat then #6 Duke on a neutral court after spotting them 10 points in the 2nd half.
If thats not enough, Clemson has defeated no one and lost to an unranked Boise St.

The hate is real.
What are you talking about. It’s Kentuckys first road game against a legit power school. Kentucky has also only played 1 team.
 
Because ESPN has and will always have idiots running the behind the stage stuff. Only watch ESPN if UK is playing other wise avoid them.
Why is this a bad metric? We have no idea how good Kentucky is yet. It’s their first road game. They could absolutely lose this game and Gonzaga next week. Hopefully we can at least go 1-1
 
Evan Miya analytics has Kentucky favored by .8. Suspect the line comes out about UK -1 and fans push it to -3.5ish.
 
I think their metrics are wrong, same as kenpom. But I actually love the fact that they have UK losing this game. Not that I thought this particular UK team, with all its experience, would take Clemson lightly in our first true road game, but with ESPN saying we're gonna lose, there is ZERO chance we take Clemson lightly.
