I just bet $50 on KY to cover. If we win its money well spent.

The really attractive number here is the over. O139 is the pick. This is a huge game for both squads, so I expect to see the starters playing more minutes here. The game will get a little sloppy on defense and there should be plenty of offensive fireworks on both sides. An 80-something to 70-something game is the expectation.

The only concern I have is the odd way games are typically officiated in Rupp. If the refs let them play, game goes over no problem. If it gets too slow with whistles blowing all game, it'll be tough to watch and free throws will decide the total - which makes it tough to score 70 points.

With Scotty and Tobias hobbling around (if Scotty even plays), it would be a miracle to win this game.
But, you never know!
GO VOLS!

I would think the refs will have been given the proper incentives to have a dramatic game in Rupp on Super Tuesday for ESPN. After all, this is Pearl and Cal above anything else. The commentators will somehow fit a basketball game in there somewhere.

Over is probably right. I doubt UK's frosh have bought in to playing D--yet, but they can score. Side note: free throws are scored with the clock stopped---so that really becomes a moot point. Lots of totals go over with the fouling at the end.

If either team gets to 80 points, the team allowing that number to anyone as offensively limited as tonight's opponent should shut it down for the rest of the season.

I don't see either team getting to 80 either unless somebody just mails it in. I also would stay 1000 miles away from this Vols bunch if I was a gambling man.

What worries me is we're getting a road whistle at home, what will the Rupp whistle be like?

I predict Williams will be in early foul trouble, because size is the one clear advantage we have in this one.

Total is down to 137.5. I will be waiting until moments before tip to place a small amount on the over.

UK has only given up 80+ points in one game this season. Chances are low, but it just looks like a good spot for both teams to score +/-40 each half.

Betting on games is one of those things I've never had a desire to do although I guess I can somewhat see it's appeal.

Don't do it.

It adds an additional adrenaline rush to the game that's honestly not needed. I'm a junky, so I just dabble a little for the extra rush.

My UNC buddy just bet on us +8.5, all he wanted to know is whether Scotty is playing (or playing healthy for that matter). I told him thats all I want to know too.
