Will KU even be favored over the Badgers?

[STEVEHOLT]

KU: bunch of bigs...one big guy with skill.

Badgers: Several bigs, highly skilled.


This game will come down to guard play. Forget what the pundits say, Vegas will have this game nearly a push.

 

[JayCuse]

Not to be "that guy" but its UK. But I agree with you, I think Wiscy has a higher chance of winning.

 

[Cuse House]

Yes, they will be favored simple as that. Listen, no matter how much we all hate Kentucky, Notre Dame presented a unique challenge for Kentucky. They are still the overall favorites, one game doesn't change that.

 

[Alsacs]

Early line has Kentucky -6.5 favorite over Wisconsin. The money line bet on Wisconsin may be a play for me.

 

[jdubs30]

Dekker is going to be a problem for UK. WCS will be on Kaminksy I assume, I guess Lyles on Dekker, but who does Towns guard? If Dekker continues to play like this, Wisconsin should win...UK will have trouble scoring since UW actually has some size

Does Wisconsin have the ball handling to beat uk???? They only average 7-8 turnovers a game, but that has to be be worrying america.

 

[Cuse House]

Montana.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

6.5 pt dogs!!!! this is just vegas trying to steal money from people. there is no way you can bet that line for kentucky and feel confident.

 

[kcsu]

Kentucky will beat wisky by 10 or more

Kentucky is 38-0. They will be favored and should be, It will be a tough game. But if Roy Williams was a better coach, Wisky wouldn't be there.

 

[two3zone]

Kaminski is a solid shooter, but now way does he do that slow motion drive to the hoop against Kentucky's bigs and makes those easy layups. Kentucky played like crap, ND played amazing for most of the game and UK still won, I think that says a lot.

 

[Cusefannotindc]

The line will be Kentucky -4.5 or -5

 

[Brooky03]

Kentucky also plays in a joke of a conference. I agree they should be favored, but 6.5 is a bit much. The betting should move it closer to 4.5.

Their OOC schedule was quite solid.

 

[Cuse House]

Can't wait until next year at this time when we are asking how much SU will be favored by. Man, I loathe for those days. I miss you Cuse basketball, come back to me!

 

[Brooky03]

Agreed.

 

[cto]

KU? Kansas? How did they get into this discussion?

 

[jncuse]

KPom has the line at -2 per my quick calculation. As it's usually a close proxy to the initial line, I was expecting it come in at -4, the extra points coming from UK Rep.

I am really surprised to see it start at -6.5, Vegas must want the sharps to take action early rather than late.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

I think people are seriously underestimating wisonsin and getting hung up on kentuckys record. Kentucky could easily have four losses. THey are good yes..but this game should be real close...if the line is 6.5 ..its stealing to take wisconsin.

 

[Libero2]

Kentucky is 38-0. They will be favored and should be, It will be a tough game. But if Roy Williams was a better coach, Wisky wouldn't be there.

And ifKentucky didn't make its final 9 shots, and final 4 free throws, or if Jerian Grant makes a desperation shot at the end, Kentucky isn't moving on either. Survive and advance, everybody who wins a title needs some luck and some times where their opponents screw up. These two teams took advantage

 

[Cusefan0307]

You have to take Wisconsin at -6.5. Notre Dame and now Wisconsin are the two best teams UK will have seen all year. Wisconsin has the same team last year when they lost to UK last year in a close game, UK has signed a few free agents, but we need to stop with this myth that they are unbeatable. They could go unbeaten, but these last three games starting with yesterday are going to be difficult, because it will be the best teams they've seen all year.

 

[Alsacs]

All Notre Dame showed last night was Kentucky is clutch as hell but if they played in the B1G or ACC they wouldn't be undefeated.
Kentucky is definitely number 1 but they have flaws. WCS is the best on ball defender to play college basketball since Stacy Augmon in the amboia defense from UNLV but the kid has little offensive game. If Brey played zone on Towns he likely wins this game.
Auguste gave Kominski the blue print how to score and he can shot the 3 ball. The ML Wisconsin +220 is my bet. I got it in last night.

 

[SWC75]

One game and they went from awesome to overrated.

 

[bpo57]

Wisconsin was a 1.5 underdog against AZ yesterday.
