Making a large play on UK tonight (don't get my wrong guys, large to me is $350, as I am normally $100 on each game). Don't do anything stupid, and risk any more than you feel comfortable with, as nothing is for certain.
But the reason I like Kentucky:
I will start by saying that LSU is a good team. And you hate giving up points on the road, in conference, especially with a young UK team. However, LSU struggled horribly at home against a much taller and more athletic Tennessee team. LSU guards were overmatched, and they could not handle Tennessee's length, or handle Stokes or Maymon inside. McRae (Tennessee's 6-6 guard went off for 19) and Stokes had a double double with 15 and 15.
With that being said, LSU struggles with Kentucky tonight. UK is 6-6 in the backcourt (LSU is 5-11, 6-4 and 6-5) then UK has 7ft Cauley-Stein and the Monster Randall in the front court.
I just don't see LSU handling the size of UK.
Again, not betting my house, farm, wife, kids or job. But am making a decent play.

Yeah, I see a lot of people on Kentucky. And I hate being on the popular road favorite. But it is the size issue, and I think UK learned from the Arkansas debacle (even thought I had the Hogs in a pick that game).
Also, with all of the snow/ice in Baton Rouge today, hopefully we'll get a crap crowd and neutralize any true HC advantage LSU may have had.

1) Size won't matter that much as they may not shoot the ball well enough to win tonight. 2) You may be surprised how 3 straight wins at home may fog up a player's memory of the road. Good luck though!!
