A lot has been made of the UK vs. an NBA team debate, and PredictionMachine.com has finally put that debate to rest with whatever technology it uses to generate its score predictions. The sports forecasting website simulated the game 50,000 times and determined that
Washington would win 70.2% of the time if playing on no rest in Rupp Arena.
The website gives Kentucky the advantage in two key matchups: Doron Lamb vs. Jordan Crawford and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist vs. Chris Singleton, while Wall, Booker, and Nene hold the edge over Teague, Jones, and Davis due to experience.
You can the entire breakdown
here.
I say we skip this simulating rubbish and put the two teams against each other in an exhibition game for charity. All of the proceeds can go to Washington getting better at basketball.
