The opening lines are now out for Wednesday’s slate of college basketball games and at Circa Sports out in Las Vegas you can get the Kentucky-Georgia spread at 2.5 points, Kentucky the favorite.

Kentucky hasn’t covered a spread since the 18-point win in Gainesville, while Georgia snapped a two-game skid against the spread with an outright win as eight-point underdogs at Ole Miss, the Dawgs’ first win of conference play.

If you’re looking for a good trend, the total has gone over in each of Georgia’s last five games. Circa set the point total on this game at 144.5 points.

That 144.5 is right on the money the way UK has been playing. The total could be 144 or 145 so flip a coin and pray.

I'd take the under all day long.

I would say that if UK doesn't win tomorrow (I don't think they will) that we may not see another win until February 23.

I'll play the over. The one thing you can always count on for Tom Crean's team: Fast pace and no defense.

I think UK can even score 80 against UGA. I just think UGA might score 85 to 90 against UK's defense.

Holy cow this team is so bad offensively they can’t even score against a team that plays absolutely zero defense.

Can’t pass, can’t understand what is a good shot and what isn’t, and can’t shoot from three worth a damn..

Good call on the under rlt4UK. Glad I forgot the game started at 7. I would have surely lost $10 by betting the over.

Actually, at one time during the second half of last nights game, KY was shooting 70% from the floor. The problem with that stat is, 50% of the time during that stretch we were turning the ball over! Until these boys know how to pass the ball, I thought that was a fundamental that is taught at a very young age!

Cats were 1-13 from the 3 point line 7.7%...We wont win many games shooting 3's like that. We also turned the ball over 17 times to Georgia's 11.

Cat starters were 6-25 from the field. (24%)

This team is going to set all kinds of records. One big one is Cal won't need to go to the Green room at the draft. I doubt him having anyone who gets drafted. Another record that could be set is total games lost in a season. Right now we are looking at the possibility of losing 21 games.

It doesn't look that good for next year either but it has to be better than this year.
