Cats are -5 v Vandy
- Thread starter VA/UK
- Start date
3.5 is what I would have it as, vandy plays hard and has been playing good Kentucky can’t overlook it
I see this claim all the time but have never seen stats to back it up. Have anything that historically shows we are worse on the road with 9 pm games? And 9 eastern doesn’t mean a game is 9 pm for the team wherever they are playing.
I believe it started at -2.5 so apparently the money has been on UK to cover by a significant margin. It doesn't mean too much other than bettors think UK has turned the corner. Vandy's center being out has likely contributed to it as well.
If the Cats play like they have been the last 3 games, they'll win. If they play like they did prior to that, it will be a nailbiter and a likely loss. I'm feeling more comfortable with this group, but you never know. At Memorial and a packed house, anything could happen. We can't come out flat in this one. We need to take their heart early and keep the crowd out of it.

Memorial is always 40-50 percent Kentucky fans anyways so Kentucky has that going for them
Not unless you’re 5 years old has it ever been 50% UK. Lol.
It will tonight though, Stack and the liberals at Vandy have run the fans off.
Vandy is playing better and they aren’t pushovers any more, but Kentucky has a lot of fans on Nashville and that’s one ticket Kentucky fans always show up at
Looking at other games.... Iowa St is a lock tonight
5 point fav over a top 10 ranked team.
Majority would think the better team + points is the way

-6 now UK as of today.
144.5 O/U.
I will take any win as long as we compete and Vandy's success isn't due to our ongoing (and hopefully past) issues defensively. What I mean by that are the kinds of shots where we all think "well, not much you can do about those circus shots...".
But I want a 15-20 point *** whipping. If they mirror A&M's double-Oscar game plan, and we hit 15+ threes as a result (in other words, shoot better from the perimeter while taking a lot due to this game plan), then we may be able to leave that crap hole gym with a strong win.
However, if this game plan starts, but we're draining them from 3 early and often, I fully expect Stackhouse to abandon the double on Oscar and be fine with a 2 from the paint over a barrage of 3 pointers. Another likelihood is that Stackhouse cans the double team, but puts **** bench players on Oscar to foul the crap out of him with holding, hacking, in an attempt to either get him to react (see A&M's strategy), or force him to hit three pointers. Stackhouse is yet another SEC coach that employs those crap tactics of hack and hold - refs can't call 'em all!

KP also didn't budge Duke after losing to the mighty Hokies last night either.
Yeah, the bets are all going toward UK, apparently, so the gap keeps getting larger. I hope the bettors are right on this one. It would nice to have a comfortable win. But I'm not holding my breath.
I think 6 is about the right number.
It seems like we struggle in the 1st half and cannot get separation (well, even struggle to lead at the half to be honest).... then get it together 2nd half....so until we can get a full game pieced together, we will see these tight spreads.
Just my 2 cents.

Is someone on Vandy injured or something? lol
We've been playing better recently but I'm not sure I'd take us -6.

It depends how much Millora-Brown goes after Tshiebwe. Him and Robbins were causing trouble for Oscar in the game at Rupp last year.
Their best player is out in 7'0 C Liam Robbins.
I've been looking for you with the Vandy game coming up.
Hahahaha! Nashville is a liberal city. Vandy doesn’t play in Knoxville. Nice try though.
I honestly have just been busy. Should have stuck my head in and said hey sooner.
Does anybody know who the other player for vandy is that is out. I know robbins is out but apparently their is another guy out
Literally Everything they touch they destroy , very solid point. Stackhouse seems like a decent bench coach but damn does he always seem to be angry and has a huge chip on his shoulder.
Me and SacramentoKat are going LARGE on Vanderbilt’s moneyline. Good Lord what to do with all this cash we’re about to win! Huge loss for Cal can’t believe he didn’t have the boys ready. 
He's their backup center: 6-10 255. He hasn't played as much because he's been playing behind Robbins. They are down to 2 post players. Both are pretty big guys but not as offensively talented.
