Kentucky Opens As A 12.5-Point Favorite Over Louisville

Good Lord, that's...that's...

Kxe9at1325279002_medium

For reference, in the 2009-10 game, the John Wall/DeMarcus Cousins team that was undefeated at the time was just a 7.5-point favorite over the Edgar Sosa/Jerry Smith team that had already been blown out by Western Carolina. Twelve and-a-half is just a monster number.

Via Hot Hot, the last time a Louisville/Kentucky game had a double digit favorite was Dec 29, 2001, when UK was favored to win by 13. Cats won by 20, 82-62.

Of course also worth noting is that Kentucky has not covered the spread in its last eight games. So there's that.

In other news, apparently we've been kicked out of the city of Paintsville.

Must have been all the making fun of J.R. VanHoose I did in 5th grade. Seemed so harmless.

I just can't help but feel like

this is going to be one of those games that is close for a while but we aren’t ever really in it. Then UK goes on a run with 8 to go or so in the second half where they are getting easy dunks and three point shots.

That is an insane line

I think it was made to make Louisville fans bet their life savings on it.

he resumed practice

They say he can do no contact drills, I guess the surprise I am hoping for is that he has actually resumed full practice and will see minutes, pull put the tricks Ricky P!

I mean the way the back and forth has been this offseason and into the season I wouldn’t be surprised for mind games and tricks on either side

Would be awesome

but that’s not the type of injury you’d want an 18 year old pro prospect to return early from. I’ll be surprised, and a little worried, if he’s playing before February.

I could have sworn that you said "Pantsville" instead of "Paintsville"

Because if we win this game, many of us will not be allowed in Pantsville, since most of us will be without pants
