-1/-0.5 is about what it would be with both teams full strength, that’s why I said I think it’ll continue to move towards Tennessee, assuming those 2 guys are out for Kentucky.

With 80% of the Money on UK? Moving the line to UT doesn't make sense. The Money moves the line, not circumstances. Therefore we have a "reverse line movement". I do this stuff quite often...

I caught it early this morning at -1. Last time I checked a bit ago it was -1.5

According to Vegas Insider, it opened at a Pick. So the line has moved 1.5 to UT, which is strange; given that appx 80% of the action is on UK. Hopefully, Vegas knows something and is encouraging bets on Kentucky. That is one explanation.

Lol. No one other than oddsmakers are thinking of Kentucky as the underdog, and even then it is the definition of a coin flip not underdog. I guarantee most basketball analysts and talking heads will pick Kentucky to win this game.

Exactly. If you have no connection to UT, would you want to bet against the cats; given their recent play? NO.

They must believe that Washington will not play and if he does is he even close to 100%. That could be another explanation.

Kinda hoping Powell goes off tonight from the bench. Maybe not 20+ or anything crazy, but would love to see him drop 3 or 4 from deep in to get him out of his funk lately.

Being a Kentucky kid it'd also be nice to see him do it to the Wildcats.

If nothing else, he desperately needs a confidence booster. We have to have someone else step up and start hitting some 3's at a more consistent basis. I doubt ZZ can continue his hot streak and KC is struggling from deep, so one more weapon would be huge going forward. This game is so fast and so much about playing with confidence vs. being hesitant and playing slow.

Yeah, Santi will get his and James has looked better but he's streaky so can go 1-7 from deep just as easily as 3-8. ZZ I think will shoot a good %, but he's also not going to be a guy that puts up a ton of attempts from out there since he's so involved with the penetrations into the lane and distributing the ball.

Powell hitting 2 or so a night would be a huge lift to this team and it'd give him more confidence moving forward. With his size and now that he's starting to really defend well if he's able to score 6-8 a night and hit a couple 3s to help keep defenses honest it'll help.

I also think KC will snap out of his slump, kid is too talented to be down long. Powell though has 3 straight games with 0 made FGs.

Well, I said the Miss. St. game was the game of the year, so far. Now, the UK game is the game of the year, gotta hold serve at home. Yes, I know a loss won't really hurt us, but a win will be gigantic.

Btw, if a 9 o'clock tip-off is too late for some of you all holding tickets, give your Dog a bone. I'll happily go in your place

By action are you meaning bets or money? Usually when the line moves weirdly like that the public is one side with a lot of bets, but the money is on the other. Sounds to me like the money is on TN tonight

I am ALL VOL and not a negaVol.

Here are my concerns for the game :
KC needs to eliminate his lazy passes
Vescovi needs to eliminate his usual one or two ridiculously unneeded fouls
BHH and Uros need to suddenly learn how to box out the opponents big man tonight
Reduce rotation, keep the hot hand in even though it is time to "sub" according to the Butch Jones "chart"

Do some of the above and shoot 48% from the field and we can win this game.

If we don't do the above, it's 88-76 Ky. I'm going with the above and predict UT wins 73-69

Lol KC does toss some odd assist attempts and Vescovi Does make stupid fouls, and its usually right after he either does something very Positive or Negative on the court. We need these habits to not exist tonight if we are going to win. Kentucky has Talent as much as I hate to say it.... I hope we make this a good game

Go Big Orange

80% of the action and 80% of the money are not the same thing. It can be a Joe vs Pro thing here. Cats fans are all going to put down their $ 50 on their team. Which side has the most money?

This isn’t the game to lose focus with wasted possessions and cheap fouls. The game will be electric. The crowd will go crazy with simple layups… there is no need to attempt the low percentage highlight reel stuff.
