Kentucky opens as a 4-point favorite at Alabama

- Start date
Kentucky comes out with a road win - especially one by 10+ points, it will go a long way towards confidence building.

Marcus Lee and Alex Poythress are going to come out swinging. Normally I think these lines give UK too much credit (probably because they know UK fans will eat it up...dunno) but it seems to be the opposite with this one.
wow I forgot about that - SEC scheduled that one poorly; they should know Bama would be in contention for football title; and Kentucky (no matter how we're playing right now) is Kentucky, usually a big draw for hoops. That arena may well end up being more UK fans than Bama fans
The 2 times I've been there is was probably 35-40% UK fans. Last year and back in 2005.
would be nice to put this LSU game behind us and spank Alabama real good, maybe 20 points. That might shut up some of the naysayers
Not sure why it's unnerving considering those lines are usually not that accurate. See the last 2 games against Ole Miss and LSU.
Oh crap, Briscoe will be lucky to hit the backboard on free throw attempts
A win will be fine at this point, their roster doesn't look intimidating, but that doesn't mean anything and it's a road game, let's go Wildcats
If we show up ready to compete and don't dig ourselves a hole right out of the gate we should be able to get this one. When you go from what we saw vs Ole Miss to what we saw vs LSU then each game you can put down as a crap shoot.A win will be fine at this point, their roster doesn't look intimidating, but that doesn't mean anything and it's a road game, let's go Wildcats
I think this is a big one for us, could set up a nice little chance for a 3 game win streak to get us to 14-3 and restore some confidence. It might tell us how bad these guys want to establish who they are or if they yet know who they are.
be surprised if there are many Alabama fans, those not at the game will be at the sports bars somewhere they can watch the football game.
Here is the funny though - the team down the road plays Clemson tomorrow
It's on the road...not hard to figure out. Plus, no betting line has ANY IMPACT on the game. So if you are un-nerved over something so irrelevant to the game itself...then you have a problem.
shows you how much I pay attention -
Don't know why I thought it was tomorrow
Now that I've stuck my foot in my mouth.....
You
You're good brother!

Hopefully Lee won't pick up 2 quick fouls and sit the whole first half again! We really missed his energy in the first half vs. LSU.
"sister" actually - but thanks my friend!
They generally fill that place to the brim. Could be the championship pulls some away, though. Looking forward to the game in any case.
I'm giving myself a self high five on this one. Should have put some money down
Better yet, I'll give ya a like. Don't spend it all in one place

Anyone who can make a decent call on this team on a game by game basis deserves a high five. The books have missed badly on them several times this year, yes I know the odds are set based on money flow and trying to get a 50/50 split, but you have to start by setting a line as close to how the game will play out as you can get.
If we need any more evidence that this is not what the 'experts' thought they would get with UK this season we can look at the line misses the books have had. As the season goes along the books get better, it will be interesting to see how we are treated later on this year.
