Line on UK vs UF

[Twindaddy2003+1]

The line is already out for the game tomorrow and they are going with the cats by 13.5 points. Anyone think that is too low or exactly right? Should be a interesting game.

A little low, but it is the third time were playing and it is now tournament time. So that probably brought it down a bit.

I think it's a good line. May get bet up a little, but SEC Tourney isn't UK's forte or priority under Cal.

 

[catfaninsc_rivals377375]

Cats will cover this spread.

 

[fatguy87]

That's about right considering that we were 16.5 favorites in Rupp just a few days ago. Home court is worth just about 3 points.

If I had the jack Id give the points.

UF will be exhausted by halftime.

UK rolls tomorrow....

The line at Rupp was around 17 and UK won by 17.

Sounds about right. Unless one thinks the Rupp advantage is less than 3.5 points.

UK by 18....mark it down.

I'm not so sure that's the case this year. Someone linked a story the other day where Cal's friends said he wants it this year. I think he and this team really want that 40-0 now that it's within reach. Cal also said after a recent game he wanted the Cat's to bring their all this year for the UK fans there. It's going to be an outright coronation. Wish I could be there!

This isn't exactly a neutral court, though.

It depends entirely on the team's mindset. Do they come out looking to make a statement, focused on destroying teams? Or do they come out bored out of their minds at the thought of playing Florida a second time in less than a week?

I don't see UK going full throttle in this game because they have to play 3 games in 3 days. So I would guess UK will win by around 10.

I hope you're right!

I'm going DOUBLE that. It's personal after that 1 pt loss and season sweep last year (I was sitting behind the goal as Young fell on that last play in SEC champ.) CATS BY 27. We end those snotty punks' season (their fans not players).

 

[lacocat]

I think thats 3-4 points low considering UK will have 6 days rest and UF played Bama today. Plus Nashville will look like Rupp arena this weekend as far as home court advantage goes, possibly a rowdier crowd than the blue hairs in Rupp as hard as that is to imagine.

 

[minjo]

UK by 12 write it down. 72/60 there you have it.

 

[opinpi]

Cats by 5.

 

[mjj_2K]

Florida has done a good job slopping the game up 2 times now, so that line is probably about right. I don't expect a primo UK performance, as UK under Cal has usually looked disinterested on the 1st day of the SEC Tourney. Even when they won it in 2010 and 2011, the first game was just kind of "blah, let's get past this".

 

[anon_013cn8yrfncx2]

I don't see us covering that. If we happen to have a 15-20 point lead down the stretch we will probably rest a few guys and definitely will run clock with even a 10 point lead. If Frazier is still off tomorrow then maybe depending on the Carter kid.

Line opened at 13.5...but has fallen to 13.0. Sharp money is waiting and will be rewarded at 12.5 (my prediction) mid-morning tomorrow..
