opinions more than welcome. I personally think +11 is enough (my first thought was if they make it a DD spread then i'm in) based on how i foresee things playing out. Hinges real strong on the ability of the Irish to draw out the bigs to the 3 line and execute offensively from there. ND can run and play half court... huge lack in size forces them to try and push KY into a different style then normal, albeit KY can morph into just about any team they need to be to adjust accordingly. Guard play always prove to be a monster role this time of year and everyone knows the talent ND has in that area as well as ND's ability to make shots.
By no means do i think they have a true chance of pulling the upset but again I'll take the 11 b/c the Irish will score enough points to stay w/in that range.

With the in your face the Kentucky Defense plays I'm not so sure about ND's scoring the way I was against Wichita St. I believe Kentucky has the size over ND and ND doesn't have the bench that it may need. IMO there's only one way ND stays within this number and that's doing a good job of keeping Kentucky off the offensive glass and limit 2nd chance points. Kentucky is right up there with the best offensive rebounding teams and that will be a huge task to achieve. I'm not selling the Irish short because they can create but to stay within this number Grant needs to play like a wild man. Games as they usually are for the most part this time of year hang around the number but it wouldn't surprise me if ND gets Blown Out of the Gym. Going against you Newc but still wish you luck.
We didn't do anything for 3 years. We didn't want to leave the babies with anyone (we're both a little OCD lol) So here's one for you and your wife have a great time be safe. Oh yea funny my Daughter's first words I swear were Touchdown sitting in one of those things they sit in with the legs out. I'm so old don't even know what they call them or even have them anymore. lol
anyone else can't stand Calipari? fucker survived one tonight. give KY credit but they were outplayed tonight. missed some ft's late and cost em
Newc, why the dislike for Coach Cal? There were a lot worse coaches at UK to pick on.;)
Cheating at Umass and Memphis. Only a matter of time before he runs out of Lexington with the house burning down.
The moral compass is now in the Bermuda Triangle. It's all about winning.
