UK -19-
Any thoughts?
I think this matchup is a nightmare for us. They are big inside and deep. Unless we shoot well tonight, I don't see us staying within that number.

Any thoughts?

They will destroy us. If we stay within 20, I will be very pleasantly surprised.
Plus we have OM on deck. Not sure if we are more focused on that one.
TV?
take Kentucky -19
We have a chance to win our next 4 games after this one though
I would like to propose a moment of silence for our basketball team. They are about to take the beating of a lifetime. I bet even Ashley Judd gets in the game by the midway point of the second half.
It's on channel 12 if you have direct tv. Basically CBS
UK is not a very good shooting team so I doubt they blow the doors off in this game. Game can be seen on ESPN3 on your iPad.
It's not their ability to score but our inability to score. Their starting 5 average height is one of the top in the country with one of the best shot blockers down low in WCS. With our only option of scoring being on Chicken drives and Gavin in the post this one could get ugly fast. Also their ability to draw falls could cause a problem to our lack of front court depth. There are smarter bets than laying -20 but all signs point to blowout.
We can draw fouls too and they aren't so scary with their big men on the bench. Hopefully the Bear makes an appearance tonight.
Here's to hoping we can keep it reasonable to build momentum and optimism for the future.
UK wins by 35+
It will be over in 3-5 minutes. My guess is they jump out to an 18-4 or 20-6 type lead and we struggle to score 50 against that length. They will make us shoot instead of drive, and that could lead to some record setting lows in shooting percentage.
Who says UK needs to be a good shooting team to cover -19? They will score at least 50 points in the paint tonight.
Good thing I'll be at the Pelicans game tonight, and wont have to subject my eyes to this one.
