Texas A&M Opened as 1-Point Favorite

[Smashcat]

Lined has moved to 1.5 points.

 

[Big Foot 275]

It's a pick em on Vegas Insider.

 

[4UK]

Sounds about right. There's no way I would feel comfortable betting UK to win that game straight up. At the same time, I wouldn't feel good about betting A&M either. That's pretty much the definition of a pick'em game.

Man I hope Marcus and Derek are going to be able to play.

Ah why would Derek not play ? LOL some people overreact so bad . He has was sore b/c he balled out last night , no big deal whatsoever.

I agree with you.

May God Almighty have mercy on their Aggie souls.

 

[ulismyman]

If you were at the game and saw Willis wince all night and barely walk off floor you would worry as well...

 

[KWilt43atbuzz]

Willis winced his way to a carrer high in points...25...and threes made...7.
Id be more concerned if he was wincing while putting up a goose egg.

 

[ulismyman]

Had to be there..just trust me on this

 

[Supreme Lord Z]

Feeling like the Kansas game to me.

 

[KWilt43atbuzz]

Read on KSR Willis told Cal he will be ready Sat nite.
Trust me on that!

 

[KWilt43atbuzz]

No way. Allen Fieldhouse is toughest place to play in the country.
KU is a legit #1 seed. aTm is a football school
You guys need to calm down.

 

[ulismyman]

I know he will play..never said he wouldnt

 

[ulismyman]

At least he is battling out there

 

[BBUK]

I graduated from aTm....(Good education)may they die like dirty dogs!!!!!

 

[JerseyCat84]

Feeling like the Kansas game to me.

And if we play like the KU game, we win easily.

 

[TexKat]

Cats by 3.....

 

[musrat59]

I am just happy that they aren't having any free T-shirts or white outs today.

 

[Dakota25]

We definitely need at least one of Willis or Lee to play. The front court has no scoring without Willis and Lee is a decent rebounder. The game will be close and can go either way. Both times we played there we won in OT. Those games were played with Cal's worst team and best team ironically.

We need Willis more than we need Lee. Why? Because without him, we can't spread the floor enough to open up the inside for drives to the basket.

agreed, without willis a gimmick triangle and 2 defense would probably shut us down. oh wait.....

Exactly. A&M is not close to as good as KU.

 

[Ripcord65]

As of 12:45 p.m., Eastern time, on Saturday, the online betting site "5 Dimes" has the spread at U.K. -1.5.

The spread started out on "5 Dimes" very early this morning at "pick 'em."

I agree but it would be perfect to have everyone. Hopefully soon we will be 100 percent healthy.

Cats by 3.....

You are close, I say Cats by 5

 

[jameslee32]

If we get this one minus 2 bigs, we are ready for the red pill folks.

 

[Bluegrass79]

Kentucky is -2 now on Bovada. I think betting the first half would be best. Uk is -1\2 point on first half. Texas a/m is +1/2 point

 

[BigBlueCatNation]

Do we know if Marcus Lee or Derek Willis are fine yet? If they're back to normal then I don't really see why UK would be the underdog in this game. Based on the way each team is playing, UK should be able to win this game by 5-10. Again, this is assuming we get the same team that showed up in SC last weekend.

 

[JFCats22]

House and Jones pose a big problem. Along with Caruso.

Not sure who guards them.

guess we figure it out as game gets going. Really be nice to have Poy for this game

We don't know if Lee and Willis are out yet. Even still A&M isn't as good as UK. They are a football school and nobody cares about basketball in Texas. I highly doubt any of their fans can name a player on their team or their coach!

 

[JFCats22]

CJ's Kyle Tucker just said Lee and Willis both fully participated in shoot around today.

THEN, take'em down the rabbit hole...

 

[BBUK]

HEY; Would Cal "plan" getting tossed again?

 

[Dakota25]

Sounds good. I assumed they would be good to go. Athletes get fast and efficient medical treatment.

Not so from a fan on this site. UK's medical staff uses the slow healing methods as compared to other teams that will be left....un-mentioned...

Just because aTm is a football school doesn't mean they can't win this game. Florida is a football school with two national titles.

Why does it matter that they're a football school? That makes no sense. It doesn't apply when UK comes to town. This is a fact we have known about for centuries.

 

[HenryMuto]

This is going to be a brutally tough game to win. I assume no Poy and having to have played on Thursday while A&M played on Tuesday and this is going to be A&M's Superbowl.
