UK Opens at -5.5 Even With Injuries
- Thread starter SBKY
- Start date
I’m not going to be surprised if we blow them out or get blown out. Feels like anything could happen with this one.
That spread is putting a whole lotta faith in the power of home court advantage. Vandy beat us by 5 when Butler and Robinson were healthy, but now we’re favored by 5.5 when they’re out injured?
Can’t say I see the logic behind it, but I hope they’re right.

Can't have 17 turnovers again. IDK why but I figured at least one of Butler and Jrob were out.. based on the outcome of that game. However both played, and played most of it.
Yet, almost everyone played poorly.. will be interesting to see if not having a shoot around last time will prove to be a factor.

Think they grind it out like Tennessee and get one big run that makes the difference
It must be the ascendance of the mountain mamba
Down to -4.5 on FD. Tempted to hop on that. I see this as a 7 or 8 pt win regardless of injuries.
Yeah that was probably Butler's worst game he was really hobbled and tried to play through it but him trying to tuff it out probably cost us the game.
True, but I thought Butler was playing hurt (before he sat out 3 games) and had his worst game of the year with 6 turnovers.
Yeah, I wouldn't be spending the rent money to bet on this game. lol
Maybe Vandy will forget about him. I think we need to hit at least 12 threes to win.
Hell to the yes! We have shooters. Let em fire away.
Do the fundamental things tonight and we win. Continue to make DUMB mistakes and we will lose.
The Texas game was ours until we threw the ball away, didn’t block out, missed FT’s and missed wide open shots in the last 4 minutes.

If we don't win tonight, I have no confidence we can win another game this year outside maybe LSU. Even with a decent NCAA tournament seed.
I am not down on Pope. He was dealt a crappy hand. There is not a coach out there that could lose 2 point guards and our best bucket getter and sustain. It just is what it is at this point.
Brea off the bench. Start Noah. Run him off a screen or two and he'll make a 3. UK wins by 74-69
Tonight and also the LSU game are must-wins. You can't lose these types of games. Got to get to 19 wins before the SEC tourney.
