Predictions

[CincyUKFan]

I see a thread about staff predictions. How about one for the rest of us?

Duke 82
UK 67

Duke pulls away for good towards the end of the first half and we don't pose a threat the rest of the game.

Washington leads the team in scoring, and does so efficiently, but doesn't take nearly as many shots as he needs to. Turnovers, many unforced, and getting little from our post players (both offensively and defensively) kill us.

Kentucky 79 Duke 76

Kentucky goes 16/36 from three and wins 90-78, just like they did over Arkansas in the 1994 SEC tournament.

Or probably Duke by 10.

I think this is the most likely scenario as well. We will keep it close until about 7 -8 in the first and Duke will start to pull away. We won't ever get within striking distance again. They win by 12 - 15. They eat us up inside and shoot well enough to keep us scrambling. It'll be similar to the game on now between KU and MSU.

UK loses 79-95

 

[NoahColeLiam2024!]

84-77 Duke. High paced game we trail the entire way and can’t seem to get over the hump. No gifts from the refs with Oscar getting 2 fouls before the second tv timeout and we have to go small.

That being said, Go Big Blue!!

Man I have my blue tinted goggles on tonight and I’m thinking with my 42 year old heart the Wildcats by 15 over those damn Devils!

85-70

 

[CincyUKFan]

Duke 85
UK 66

I feel like we’ll hit a couple meaningless threes to make it a bit closer than that.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Remember all the faith many of our fans had in UK all summer and our fans who said we didn't need Kofi?

Whatever happened to all those guys?

Love the optimism. Just also be prepared for something else

The number of 1 PT win predictions pretty much tells me what I need to know.

The problem is Cal won’t have lineups that make it possible to hit 26 threes. He has guys in the roster that could collectively do it. But guys like Wheeler and Brooks will launch more threes than Allen and Mintz (who might get 12 minutes total).

Duke by double digits. 71-84

 

[Seth_C]

We jump out to a lead by around the 6 minute mark. After that Duke controls most of the remainder of the game. Kentucky comes back late, getting the lead down to a basket or two, before eventually losing by 6-8 points.

 

[CatInCanuckLand]

Duke 74, UK 61!

 

[BlueVelvetFog]

Cats by 90

 

[usinfantrycat85]

We win on a half court shot and step on coach K’s chest afterwards

 

[ck-2]

Washington’s absolutely killing us on both ends. Yet he stays in.
