Stick to gambling - you aint ready for setting lines

The man said 9.  Pretty close to a double digit fav.  Maybe you should stay away from setting lines.   BOL

I think they put out a line that will get even action.  

I don't think I want to get involved with this one though because you never now how these Kentucky players are going to respond to a team that they view as inferior... I think that has been Calipari's greatest challenge this season. One night they blow out teams by 30 and lose SU to South carolina.

If I had to play it though I think would the team with all the lottery picks.

I'll always bet a senior over a freshman and I'll always put my money on a team with starters shooting over 80% from the line.

Ya it is Darius Washington, remember it too

When you have David vs Goliath and it's 1 GAME not a series , anything can happen.

I think Ashley Judd is an awesome fan and would her and Kevin Grevey ( a former Kentucky great ) has a nice restaurant that I frequent but I'm rooting like hell for Cornell.. have to decide about the bet if any ..

Even though the Wildcats are good at basketball I wouldn't exactly call them the good guys.  They will definitely beat 'evil Cornell' by double digits.

I think the amount of hype they are getting for beating two weak teams, two 'upsets' everyone seemed to call, is funny.

And before anyone asks, yes I had cornell making it to the sweet 16.

After several bad years. It actually feels good to be hated again lol This cornell team scares the hell out of me. Hopefully we can pull this off...Cornell plus 10 is a strong play this will be a tight game in my opinion

Im not judging just this one game vs Wisconsin either - cause I realized they shot well...Calipari is a shitty coach - if Bo Ryan couldnt figure these guys out that dummy Calipari for sure aint going....It will be up to Wall and Cousins playing real real well for them to cover imo



While I agree that Calipari is a shitty coach, don't use Bo Ryan as an example of being better, because he isn't.

I see the line dropping, as Cornell is the new Gonzaga as far as public darlings go.  The game does seem to pit good vs evil as someone mentioned earlier.  4-year team players with bright futures vs 1-and-done playground players who have little hope in life unless they make it in the NBA.

I actually use to really like Kentucky.  But it's impossible to root for them anymore now that Calipari is involved.  He's just too big of a scumbag.

You must have misunderstood what I said because Kentucky is obviously the personification of evil, while Cornell represents everything that is good about college b-ball.

?????????. A lot of these kids are just teenagers. To say they have little hope unless they make it into the NBA is foolish. Nobody knows how they could turn out. But one thing is certain...they've already accomplished more than 99% of teenagers out there.

BTW I'm taking Cornell +9.5

been making nothing but big money on CORNELL being a dog....will likely jump on this because of that and the fir they have shown...CORNELL also played well against KU ( lost by 5 @ KU )...ppl seem to forget that....despite KU loss, they are still a nasty team

'' Neutral '' court erases that overwhelming feeling they likely got playing against CUSE ( lost by 15, alot of TOs )....Now their fans and all fans of anyone xcept KY will rock the building if CORNELL comes out swinging
