Kentucky favored by 8.5 points over Ole Miss

Does UK cover?
If they are not snakebit, they should...at some point all the negativity that is coming from the media(now) may cause them to lose faith in one another. Every media outlet is now talking about UK being defenseless, saw Jay Williams and Seth Greenburg talking before Kansas game, and several posters have put segments with other national sportscasters talking about Uk. They will either toughen up and win the games they should or turn loose of the rope and go down in flames. We have all seen this movie before, I believe they will cover against Ole Miss. The joker in the deck is Coach Cal whom I believe is rattled now, and his odd substitution patterns.
 
The 2 times I’ve seen them Ole Miss looks pretty good.
On the other hand, you often pick the team that’s down. That would certainly be us! And lastly teams that have had the most success vs us (TAMU, USC, UT, Florida, Gonzaga) have one thing in common, they are very physical teams, most with a big physical post presence. I’m not sure that’s Ole Miss.

I say either we play pissed off and win double digits, or it comes down to final shot of the game.

I would take ole miss. They have two good shot blockers, and spread the floor out and have multiple guys who can hit 3s.
 
Doesn't Ole Miss have a 7'5" Center? If they do, we will see the Post offense that Gonzaga scored 12 straight trips using!!

So NO, we will not cover 8.5 unless we shoot the lights out. And that's hard to do when Cal wants to run his Post offense trying to score over a 7'5" Center!!
 
Is there a prop bet o/u on how many high PnR's the Rebels will run this game? I'm thinking 50.

Our PnR defense makes me think of this.

Cisse and sharp aren’t post up offensive bigs, they are shot blockers and rim runners

Then we’ll see the Pick-and-Roll all night and they will score even more. Cal said last night that there Guards are good at getting to the rim.

So, again, it will take a whole lot of points from our kids to win this one.

Or we play panicked. This is what I’m worried about. Desperation panic.
 
Ole Miss is one of the last four in on Lunardi's bracket. They will being it tonight.

The problem with this is everyone said he was rattled preseason and back to swaggy cal and you see how that turned out. People keep putting to much faith in him. People don’t change like we hope they will
 
I know nobody cares, but here are my bets on the game tonight:

Miss +8.5
Over 162.5
Rob over 13.5
Reed under 13.5
