[CB3UK]

I'll take the Cats tonight. I think we see some salty defense

 

[oldsports_]

71. 66. Cats

 

[westerncat]

82-72 Alabama.... We have improved but not that much.

 

[Randy Bob]

Bama by 10.

 

[ManitouDan_anon]

Bama shoots terrible and we surprise people .. team keeps improving . 72-68

 

[bbanks81]

Bama shoots mediocre for them, but we just can’t find the threes to drop either. Offense continues to struggle with no legit game ready PGs.......Bama 71-64

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

Cats by 13. Book it.

 

[ScottGreene22]

CAL (KY) since the 38-1 season are 22-20 versus Top 25 Teams. Not very good at all.

Did you play on the team that the lady cats practice against at UK?

 

[ScottGreene22]

Bama last 4 games has made 66- 3s. Petty has made 21 himself last 4 and they are shooting 42% from 3 in league play.

27 picks for Bama in prediction game.

11 picks for UK

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Bama came looking for a fight that last game. Kentucky wilted. I think tonight will be a different story. Bama still likely wins, but Ill go Cats 76-74

 

[armchairpg]

Uk by 3. We contain their pg and we take advantage of the fact that they have players out. I think we have a good showing and steal one.

 

[*CatinIL*]

In Old Reds game thread I have it 82-71 Bama.

 

[macaca]

Cats cover but lose 78-72

 

[ThreeHogNight]

Cats by 13. Book it.

Be careful, you may get placed in Dr. Pepper jinx jail.

I just can't see the Cats scoring enough to win this one. LSU plays absolutely zero defense, Bama plays very good defense and can score like crazy. Bama 79, Cats 71.

 

[GG Allin]

82-68 Tide

I don’t know man, I just feel good about it. Bama gonna be caught off guard. No way they are taking us seriously right now; toss in the trash talk last game.......we have to come out strong.

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

Cats in a close one by 4. We have to keep the game in the 70s. I'm hoping we hit 6-7 3s and hold them to 8-9. I think we see better PG play tonight out of Mintz and Askew. UK 74-70.

 

[HenryMuto]

Alabama 82
Kentucky 62

You have to outscore a team like Bama to beat them. Even our absolute best defensive effort will only hold them in the 70's with some luck. So we need to hold our weight on the offensive end, that means we're going to have to take and hit a lot of threes. Can't be pounding the ball into the floor until there are 2 seconds left on the shot clock, then fire up an AAU shot.

If we're down 15, going to Jackson 15' from the basket in a post up situation, is not a good move, it wasn't on January 12th and it won't be tonight. We have to score a lot of points tonight to have a shot.

TOMCATS, please don't put FACTS on here. You'll drive the Cal Suckers crazy!

OLD STOLL FIELD GUY!

Excellent post, Jeff!

I will say this: regardless of the totals, if Bama only hits 2/3 more treys than UK, we win. I'm scared that the difference will be more like 7 - 10 more than us, and that would be hard to overcome.

 

[rick64]

Cats gotta ramp up the D big time for 40 minutes. Can’t let Bama get hot from 3pt range or it’s going to be a long night.

My apologies to the guys who I know are trying their best, but I’d go with Alabama at over twice the spread which ESPN is currently showing at -6.5. This is their year. Better the Tide than the Vols.

They just got moved to a 2 in bracketology and just moved into the AP top 10. It's the perfect time for a letdown.

 

[Madcat62_rivals113839]

86-74 bama
and cal skips the presser

 

[Johnny1017]

[cal=8]

KY 74 Bama 73.. Boston and Sarr have big games..

 

[Kybluedude]
