UK opens +5.5 against Auburn

Win or lose, this game boosts our resume.

I hate the old “playing with house money” adage, but we kind of are.

The team should feel absolutely no pressure.

A win is huge and a loss does not really hurt us.

The guys need to play with nothing to lose and see what happens.
 
Wow, that's a huge line. I thought it would be 1.5-2. That means Auburn would be an 11-12 point favorite at home.

I disagree with everyone I guess. I was suprised the line is so close. I was honestly expecting +10. Hopefully the Cats can play like they did in November or against UT and get the win!
 
I hope we can finish the game with everyone as healthy as possible! If we can hit some threes we can beat them. Arkansas played them tough and had every opportunity to win, and they missed a ton of shots.

Auburn is very GOOD, however KY has proven to play good to great against good teams this season. We shoot around 50% from 3 and we are right there for the win. Auburn isn’t the 14-15 KY Wildcats coming into RUPP!
 
THAT'S GENERIOUS!! WE ARE ABOUT TO GET SMASHED

Don't do it.;)

This is a very winnable game folks. Looking forward to tomorrow!
Agreed. The last time Auburn was beaten by Florida, the game stats were close on a lot of things except made 3's. UF made 13, AU 7.
To me that's our signature move in this game.
Shoot 3' and make 40% of them. and I like our chances.
Obviously there are lots of other parts to the game, but if we hang in on D and play better defense, we can win!

I think we win this game. We play better against the better teams. We are at home. We should have a full roster. And we have something to prove.

We beat the hell out of them the last time they came to Rupp. Wasn't supposed to win that one either.

Go Big Blue!!
 
5.5/4.5 is nothing two quick threes from hot hands can’t take care of. We could wind up doing that in 18 seconds IF we had Jaxson Robinson.

Jaxson Robinson is the difference between having the best shooters in the country on the floor and having the best shooters on the floor OPEN. That’s the whole reason we made him the capstone of our recruiting class.

We won’t have Jaxson Robinson and I won’t be holding my breath for us to beat Auburn.

BUT I will never count Pope out or count out this spirited team.

Mountain Mamba time, my brethren!

Let’s play ball.
 
We hit double digits in 3's and the fouls are fairly even, and I like our chances tomorrow.
