I feel extremely confident that not only will UK win, but by double digits, and perhaps upwards to 15-20 points as long as they shoot a good percentage, take care of the ball, and continue to excel at FTs.
That said, sometimes when UK gets a lead they tend to rest on their laurels (Blocking out image of idiot Christian Laettner on that commercial as I type!), and play lax at times. That is my one minor concern...say UK jumps out 24-12 in the first 10-11 minutes, and dominates the press as I expect. If UK starts being lazy and complacent, that double digit lead will be erased in no time against a team that presses all the time. We have all seen UK come out complacent with decent leads to start the 2nd half this year...but it all works out in the end so who cares right?
I guess I am just hoping the guys can avoid these mental lapses against WVU, and attack, attack, attack for near 40 minutes, as I believe doing that will net a somewhat easy win. WVU's lone chance is to get a ton of easy baskets off turnovers. They have no chance otherwise IMO.
I digress, and everyone focus on my first paragraph if you want to jump my ass and remember I said we will win by double digits. I am just bored, and thinking out loud.
