UK/Alabama betting line
- Thread starter senonesy
- Start date
It may,but man does Bama give up a lot of points.
Huh, I just looked about an hour ago and it was 11.5. Must've been looking at the wrong thing. 5.5 sounds much better
And they average 99 points a game against Pope.
Where did you see 11.5, I have a hundred I'll lay on that...
Edit....I am seeing 5.5. I think the 11.5 spread you are seeeing is from last season. It was 11.5
Yeah I'm seeing 5.5 now, when I go to an actual gambling app with odds listed. I was also wanting to take the +11.5
When I googled it...I got this. AI is annoying af
Still picking Cats by 9! ATM, I'd say 83-74. We should kill them in the paint and on the boards. It'll come down to who shoots the ball well from the perimeter vs who controls the inside and the glass. If we can protect the rim and stay in their grill on the perimeter, we win the game. If they light us up from outside, they win. Look at the Az/AL boxscore. We're built to beat Alabama this year.
AZ out rebounded them by freaking 30! And pretty close to doubled them up inside. I'm not sayin we're Az right not but we are built a lot like AZ.

That's the way I see it. I wouldn't really be surprised if UK won by 18 or lost by 18 but if we can dominate the boards...nobody ever does that and gets beat by much if they lose at all.
We ARE the better interior team, which should allow us to get in their face on the perimeter on d, but who knows. Lets lace em up tight and go see.
You will see the real JQ and what the future holds win or lose.
wowThe last time UK won at Bama TyTy was the leading scorer for UK.
that actually makes me feel better.
we're due, right?
That's exactly how I feel to, hope we see what JQ can be for us. Hope he's been working on getting in game shape. I sure hope he hasn't had as much fudge and candy as I have
I’m curious as to why so many think that Alabama is some kinda world beater?! Yeah, they’re solid, but they’re not super elite. Everything with us hinges on Lowe. He’s the key to the whole deal. If he plays 20+ minutes we win IMO. If not, it’ll be a long day.
I agree, but there's that 3 point barrage factor. When Alabama gets going, they can bury you with 3's.
I'm glad Mark Sears is gone, he was one of those guys that could get anywhere on the floor and when he did, he perfected the art of jumping sideways into a defender to make it look like a foul. I hate that garbage.
Bottom line, we are as healthy as we are going to be. I know it's a road game, but with 4 losses already, we need to make up some ground. No excuses, this is a very winnable game, but the guys have to play with bigtime intensity from stem to stern.
It’s more of just acknowledging you have two flawed teams but our strength (scoring inside) will be largely nullified by their strength (shot blocking and interior defense). They have more dependable perimeter weapons and a raucous home crowd behind a high octane offense. Anything can happen —- but we are underdogs for a good reason. Even a fully healthy Kentucky team with more continuity than we have had would struggle to win in Tuscaloosa. Alabama has the edge, but there is one factor worth pointing out: both teams are playing after a long layover — that is a wildcard: sometimes teams create new good habits from practice and sometimes teams struggle to shake off the rust. We will see how both teams respond to the bye week.
And 66 to St. John’s which is a KenPom top 25 offense. Why anyone cares about what happened against Bellarmine is beyond me.
5.5 seems low. True road game. However, depends what team shows up. Played great D against IU and St John’s in the second half. Played zero defense against Bellarmine.
JQ needs to play 25 minutes and earn his NIL money. This is a game that Chandler could get a lot of shots up.

Sears was a serial flopper. Perhaps the all time flopper. Flopped on pretty much every single play.
Its easy money tomorrow.. put money on Bama and understand its just business.
the easy money is on:
-the over, total points
-the over on Dioubate’s rebounds
-Philon over 20pts
same game parlay
UK could win but we could also get wrecked so I would be wary of betting on the outcome
Our guys really seemed locked in today. Good chatter, good culture and truly seemed ready. Maybe this is a game we won’t come out flat in and fall behind. It doesn’t always translate to the court but I like what I saw today, would be nice to throttle Bama on their home turf.
.
And we know exactly how they feel, which is why I am going to say… too bad, deal with it, nobody cares when we have injuries!!!
As bad as it seemed early this season we are 9-4. Bama is 10-3. Makes it seem a little less bad.
If we don’t score today then our offense may be hopeless. I know that that mostly depends on Lowe because we play so much better with him but it’s astonishing to me how one guy determines our entire offensive game.
I’m just want to get back to the point of me not caring who we play in the SEC or where it’s at, that I expect to win again.
Stopping Philon will be the key in my mind. If he continually gets in the lane and drives / dishes it will a tough game.
The other major deal will be guarding the 3 point line effectively.
Go Cats!!

Idk if those days will be back. Just like In football it’s a new era. UK can get to the top but will they do what it takes.
Yep. I can see this game getting ugly quick if UK don’t hit some shots early.The last time UK won at Bama TyTy was the leading scorer for UK.
