Point Spread For UK vs. Gonzaga

[shadowman4]

After losing by 4 to a pedestrian(Clemson) team on the road, this game does not bode well for UK vs. The Zags. Couple the above with the fact that UK will be less than 100 percent due to Butlers ankle injury, this makes for a very difficult road game for UK.

UK plus 4.5 to 6.5 points is what I guess the spread to be, with the game more likely a 10 point plus win for The Zags.
Remember this is the same Gonzaga team that beat a good Baylor team by over 35 points a few weeks back, on what I believe was a neutral floor. I hope I am wrong and that UK ekes out a close win.
Someone give me reason to be more confident.

And they also lost by 10 to a middling West Virginia team. So why do we never look at other teams weaknesses when discussing matchups? Same WV that lost to UofL and Pitt.

If I were you I would just give up. No reason to watch. The sky is falling.

I’m not sure you’re looking for someone in still confident you seem to have your mind made up especially when you use the term describing an 8-1 Clemson team as a pedestrian team

Pedestrian

Clemson’s only top game was to Boise State on their court by 13 and the rest of their schedule was as week as UKs with exception of Duke.

My real question is what do others think the point spread will be on the UK vs. Gonzaga game.

 

[Bungalow Bill]

That pedestrian Clemson team handled Penn St who just trounced Purdue. It's going to be hard to win on the road for everybody this year.

I had at Clemson modeled at close to a pick ‘em. They are hardly pedestrian playing at home.

 

[JFCats22]

The line is Gonzaga by 4.5

Seems about right …

What you have to remember is this:
UK gets everyone’s A game because we are the Kings of College Basketball.
Teams always get excited to play Kentucky. Not so much West Virginia.
We were on the road in a very hostile environment for the 1st time all season and if not for a desperation, shot clock beating, banked in three pointer, we prolly prevail.

Gonzaga better play good or they will lose.

He probably was ready to crown Arkansas as the 24/25 NC after they beat Kansas. Lol

Preach



This was last year at the end of Jan. I’m not sure what it ended up being but people have to stop taking road games lightly when it’s an unranked team

Not just playing at home, but playing at home with football refs instead of basketball refs.

Good post.

These guys never look at the other teams. It's the same reason some of these posters weren't on here harping about Kansas and Auburn the same way they were belittling Kentucky following the losses for KU and Auburn this week.

It gets old and I think we should start holding these posters accountable more often.

Weak logic.

Gonzaga lost to a marginal West Virginia. Does that fact get to show up in your comparison at some point or do you just evaluate UK in a vacuum each time independently of the other team's weaknesses?

Auburn lost to a team we beat.

Kansas lost to pedestrian, three-loss Creighton by 13.

UConn lost three in a row.

Bama has already lost 2.

Duke has already lost 2, including to a UK team that lost to "pedestrian" Clemson on the road.

Who do you think hasn't lost to a "pedestrian" team besides undefeated Tennessee (a team that has played virtually no one).

Just curious to see who you think the elite teams are, since none of them evidently lose to "pedestrian" teams like Kentucky does.

Id put UK #2 behind only TN if we win at #7 Gonzaga.

Don't forget unc!!! 4-4!! They did beat Elon this year though so,,,,,,,

The Zags maybe foxy-woxy been a while since i heard that story

 

[Bluegrass79]

Yea I'm not watching them lose again. I wish them the best luck but I'm not watching this for a second.
Point spreads are pretty accurate. I wish the opposite.
Good luck guys you will be playing against 8 not 5. Just another game of bias west coast reffs calling ****ing fouls.

I'll pass on watchig reffs getting 2 fouls on Williams in the first half inside the first 6 minutes and two fouls on Butler in the first 10 minutes of the half.
Pass.
You knowz thats coming just like Clemson. Foul troubles how you beat Kentucky. Kentucky probably can't win without Williams and Butler playing alot especially without Butler

When did top 25 Kenpom or Top 15 Net Rankings (before the UK Win) become pedestrian? Just asking.

UK being 5.5 underdog, having to go out west and play is about right. Do we cover, we will see, do we win outright, again we will wait and see. I love all of us, me included I am sure, making a team better or worse than they actually are to show our points.

Season is young, teams are still coming together. Win or lose we will see where we are at 1230am Sunday morning.

 

[TFCats11]

OP just say it… You think UK sucks because there’s not 7 5* BJ Boston types on the team!

Cats by 8 tomorrow night 📢

 

[MachineHead1]

I honestly would have put it about Gonzaga -5.5 so this doesn’t surprise me. I want UK to beat that ass, obviously, but I fully expect Gonzaga to win this game. It’s essentially a road game.

That was so stupid, I quit reading after that

We are not the "Kings of College Basketball", and haven't been for some time.

I think given time we have the right coach to get us back to the top.

Oh, I don't disagree with that at all, my post was directed toward Cal's trailing rosebud.

 

[Wildcats1st]

I thought Clemson was awful we totally gave the game away.

 

[Jamal Mercer]

I’ll say Gonzaga -6.5

Some people jump down your throats if you don’t predict UK to win every game. Thinking logically, this looks like a loss. Especially if Butler is hobbled.

Again, it’s ok to be a realist, and then be pleasantly surprised with a road W.

 

[bluefaithful]

If I was a betting man, I would bet on the opposite of what people bet on here and I would make bank. I hear more crying about not covering on here than a naked man does on the North Pole.

 

[BBN-N-AZ]

I just put $25 on UK+6. Mostly because I feel we win outright. So the 6 points is just insurance. Might be wrong but feel good about it.

 

[HenryMuto]

 

[EliteBlue]

The same Baylor who has shown a tendency to get down 20 in half their games this season…. Is “good”.

Clemson off an E8 returning 4 key players is “pedestrian”

Yeah…we’ve heard all we needed to hear

 

[TOMCATS1990]

Line is KY + 6 on DRAFTKINGS at 4 am

That’s a CRAZY line. I woulda have said pickem
