ESPN has Clemson favored over Kentucky Tues night

[kennyskywalker34]

It’s our first road game. We will be underdogs twice next week.

We will learn a lot about this team. Just hope our fans don’t melt down if it’s a rough week.

Oh some absolutely will melt down. Already two threads about waning optimism and the team isn't that good.
Of course it's debatable if they are even fans. Probably a fan of a rival team. Bur even half of the real UK fans will melt down.

 

[UKBB4Ever]

We win by 15. Probably more.

2 very late games. 9:30 And 10:00 EST. Id take a split all day.

 

[Wildcat-in-STL]

Clemson is good and they will be at home and get ACC officiating. if we shoot 3's like we have this week we lose for sure.

Yep.

If we win by 15, I might gain national championship delusions lol

 

[Edgarman]

Yes, but damn we will be ranked in the top 5 come Monday.

Its absurd.

Road games are hard to win is the one and only reason Clemson may be favored. I have not seen the spread but I would not bet Clemson giving up just one point. What is the spread?

 

[Short-Dawg-69]

Simple play with a disrespected chip and win…..
prove the nay sayers wrong…..
Win Baby Win….

 

[fatguy87]

Barttorvik has us at about a 1 point favorite against Clemson and a 3 point underdog against Gonzaga.

Being 2-0 at the end of next week would be fabulous and would position us as one of the top teams.

 

[Bkocats]

I like that we’re underdogs
Play up to competition
After officiating this week our guys should be ready for ACC refs
I expect us to play hard and fight

News Flash: It's very hard to beat good teams on the road. Especially when they are going to be hyped up for a top 10 team and the greatest program of all time.

Agree. But have you watched Clemson play?
We won't go undefeated this season. We have weaknesses.
Clemson does too.

18 days ago, Eastern Ky played on Clemson's court.
Were down 6 at halftime...Lost by 13
Clemson shot 10 more free throws

 

[uky8unc5]

We win by 15. Probably more.

Disagree. Our first true road game.
But I do believe we win this one.

 

[Mossip]

Arkansas gets main prime time spot

Good. The whole nation, including recruits, will be shown the out-dated, putrid offense he is still running. It should be a good announcement to the rest if the world that Cal is absolutely cooked.

…and then we can go put up 100+ on Clempsome.

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

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.

It’s a hostile road environment. Ever watched the good Duke and UNC teams play there?

 

[TNCatfanforever]

hopefully true road games wont effect this older bunch as much as the teams in the past.

I never consider true road game losses as major upsets. Basketball unlike football or baseball is a sport where home court can make a 10 pt difference.

 

[UKBB4Ever]

Disagree. Our first true road game.
But I do believe we win this one.

Our first road game with a team full of Road Scholars. These aren't wide eyed freshman that think they have seen everything. Clemson won't know what hit them.

 

[jwphelps]

UK 49% Clemson 51%

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.

 

[Greatestalltime]

Pope will have them ready for the late tip. He’s all over things like that.

 

[Bkocats]

It’s not really a big deal y’all. Not sure why anyone is upset over Clemson being favored
If we play our game we should win
Period

 

[Dead Cat Bounce]

It’s fantastic that we have such a strong core of senior leaders this season. They shouldn’t be rattled. Carr has presumably played at Clemson a few times, no? The others know the drill.

 

[WebCatKy]

I'd much rather be overlooked than overhyped. Just keep winning.

 

[ftp000]

Hope to see you there.... driving down tomorrow. Doing a small road trip.

I'll be in section 102. I misspoke earlier.

 

[BBNinSC]

I don’t think Clemson is that good. It would be a
upset if they were to win Tuesday.
I do believe this current Kentucky team is more “upset-proof” than we’ve seen in recent years.

 

[un4getables]

Clemson is good and they will be at home and get ACC officiating. if we shoot 3's like we have this week we lose for sure.

You serious Clark. We didn’t shoot well and have dominated.

 

[kywildcats8]

51/49 looks basically like a toss-up. It's the first true road game. I can see us being a 2.5-3.5 dog. Duke was a great win, but it was a neutral site game. This is at Clemson. Won't be the last time our guys are underdogs on the road

I think we will be underdogs on the road 6-8 times this yr

I know in football the home field is usually worth 3 points

Hard to win on the road
