UK Opens at -17.5 at Mizzou
- Thread starter MWes11
- Start date
I think UK will cover, but this line was a toss up for Vegas. It could be a 10 point win just as easily as it could be a 40 point win. Depends which UK comes.
I think the return of Gill-Caesar for Mizzou, plus the road environment will give the 'Cats a spark though.

If UK utilizes the same gameplan of two weeks ago, it should be a 20+ point win.
You take away the 3 from Missouri and they are toast. They do have that one decent front court player down low, "Post" I believe is his name, that actually did some good things against us the first time. We need to get him in foul trouble again and make them 100% one dimensional, that is jacking up 3's over our tight D. They are probably not going to shoot 1/18 from 3 again, but as long as they do not hit 9-10 of them, it should be a somewhat easy win for UK.
I don't really care about any of the above though, I just want to see UK score the ball and have a good offensive game. I was very happy with the win at SC, but 58-43 type games are so Big Ten like lol. I want to see Andrew Harrison distribute the ball to his teammates, and drive to the rim, take GOOD shots, and that will help his percentage go up and get him to the FT line where he is a good weapon. I want to see our big guys like Towns and Johnson go to the basket, AND FINISH, and show teams we have weapons down low.

I'm thinking 20 or so. I think we come out and play well tonight. We should, they aren't very good road game or not. Might even hit the 80's tonight and win by 30. A "feel good" win followed by another Sat. over Alabama before playing our toughest SEC stretch, 3 of them on the road.
I must admit, this game scares me a bit. Not so much that we will lose, just some of the players might sleep walk through it, considering we just beat them badly a few weeks ago. Hopefully the boys go to work tonight, get a comfortable win, and head home.
It definitely feels like a game that could be a trap.
Missouri was right there against Arkansas Saturday. Had two free throws to win the game with 3 seconds left.
Can easily see this one being fairly close down to the final couple of minutes. Still think we win by 10 or 12.
