i am rooting for the cats-----but my better judgement says the cards win this one

This will be a matchup of two bad teams! UL comes into this one a 4.5 point favorite and unfortunately, Unless we find a shooter today I'd have to go with Vegas on this one as well!

This has to be the first time since Cal has been the coach at KY that one or the other teams isn't ranked in the top 25 in the country!

UL has 5 players within .5 points of averaging double figures each!
Jones, their leading scorer, averaging 16/game shoots 50% from 3 point range!

It is also the first time since I retired and came home 43 years ago, that I can't hear or read the name of any one of the players, and have his picture come to my mind. Not one! It could have something to do with my advanced age, but I don't think so.

Two bad teams playing. I think UK may be a little worse. If the script holds true Kentucky will be competitive the first half, maybe even lead at halftime, but come out flat the second half, make no adjustments, get completely out coached, and lose by 12.

I have a feeling UK is going to shoot close to 50% today which is not what the forecasters predict. Turnovers will be cut to 13 for this game and we will have 4 players in double figures. I'm guessing that Brooks has a 50-50 chance of playing in this game. UK wins it 69-63. Now I hope I don't miss on every one of those stats.

Bama you just have to be right on the Cats winning!

Posted by Bama Cat (Member # 153) on 12-26-2020, 09:09 PM:

Well................ that is the last time I'll make a projection on this team. I just about had the score figured right though both were in the 60's. Poor game.

they are saying there are 3 first round draft picks on this team----hard for me to see one one player on it good enough for kentucky-------this is a Billy Clyde team at best
