BTW I'm taking Cornell +9.5

 Maybe I was a little too harsh. 

I guess Syracuse fans said the same thing about Louisville, huh?  I bet they thought lightning couldn't strike twice either.  

Anything is possible. While everyone is entitled to their own opinion, saying another team has not yet begun their tournament is a little hypocritical considering the opponents the lower #1 seeds have faced. 

What really bothers me is when fans of any team act so obnoxious that it gives the whole fan base a black eye...and it is difficult to keep liking the team and appreciating their talent because people unfairly define them by a few choice idiots. I think teams should be defined by their talent, not their coaches or their fan bases.   I realize every team has their fair share of jerks - my team included.  However, I try very hard not to be one of them.

seniors do not win the game

freshmens do not lose the game. 

it will all depend on the coaching. which coach will come prepared but march madness is like football anygiven sunday any team can beat anybody. 

too much talen for kentucky and i think they walk away with this one easily

Why can't Kentucky play in NBA arenas every game?  Seems like those guys felt comfortable in one of the venues they'll be visiting often in the future...

 New Orleans Arena

First, let my start off by saying I am not a Kentucky fan and would love to see these one and done in college kids get drilled by a great group of real student athletes.

However as far as the line goes it won't break through 10 or 8.5. All publice money other than KY fans will be heading on Cornell. I have no doubt about that. The sharps money will be backing KY but some will feel Cornell is just dangerous enough so you won't see any large runs on the number.

When looking at the player matchups including down to any player averaging 10 minutes per game or more it just doesn't add up to a Cornell cover. They will not dominate inside with the 7 footer. actually expect him in foul trouble because they will keep bringing the ball to his chest while posting and driving. Red will also have a difficult look at 95% of there 3pt attempts because KY has close out quickness and speed to deliver weak side help on the ball fake dribble drive.

It will take the stars to be alligned, a full moon and some old country curses not to mention an act of God for Cornell to cover let alone win. But I hope they do.

Finally everyone needs to remember that Kentucky has pro players on their team. Seriously, how many of their 1-5 players will go to school past 1 maybe 2 years. That is a whole new topic and you don't want me to get started.

Go Big Red!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
