Thanks J

 

[KPENN]

Dear Louisville, please win. Thank you

 

[BobD]

Thank you Jade!

I need some advise on this game. Will Kentucky beat them by 9?

 

[johnnykillz]

I'm afraid of this game: too many what ifs.

The numbers are close.

Thoughts?

 

[BobD]

Screw it, I can't decide so I'm putting 3 million on Louisville to pull off the upset.

 

[JadeBrecks]

My thought? Kentucky wins by less than 9 and the under.

 

[BobD]

LETS GO LOUISVILLE!

 

[Irish Fam]

I think UK wins. But probably not by 9.

Fear the Brow

That was my lean.

Louisville will slow down the pace undoubtedly.

They have a great defense. I'm leaning under but not willing to risk money against that Kentucky offense...

 

[JadeBrecks]

It is sad. I missed the first 5 min of this game. I have yet to see a whole game of this tourney. I am lucky if I have seen a and a half total.

 

[Irish Fam]

its early, but Kentucky looks to be on another level. up 10 after 7 minutes

 

[JadeBrecks]

If Louisville doesn't get it together it will be Kentucky +8.5.

I've made a HUGE mistake, taking Louisville with the points.

I would have loved to have seen Louisville win, but they don't have any chance of covering. This is an epic mismatch. I did not realize how much Louisville would struggle to score, but its pretty clear that without an elite 3 point shooter they have no prayer. They cannot score inside, either by penetrating or feeding their bigs in the post, because of Kentucky's length and athleticism.

They could score inside if they would take the shot instead of making one too many passes down low. They keep turning it over down low when they try that last pass when they have the shot.

 

[JadeBrecks]

This officiating is bull crap. They are just trying to make this a game. If you call touch fouls offensively call the defensive beatings too!

 

[Rhode Irish]

This is little mini-run by Louisville is fools gold. The refs trying to keep it close and Kentucky slacking a little are helping. Kidd-Gilchrist can still get involved if the game somehow stays anywhere near close.

 

[JadeBrecks]

Get them in during halftime!

I'm hoping my wife is thinking the same way.

 

[johnnykillz]

Louisville is pushing them.

How 'bout it?

 

[Irish Fam]

If Michael the Kidd-Gilchrist can start contributing like he has the last few possessions, i don't know if Louisville will be able to score with Kentucky

 

[JadeBrecks]

69-61 Kentucky

Bets Settled

You're good at this game

 

[Rhode Irish]

Reverse jinx works again.

 

[JadeBrecks]

You're good at this game

OSU wins by +3.5 and the under

 

[Irish Fam]

I'm holding you to that

 

[JadeBrecks]

I'm holding you to that

34-25 Ohio St. halftime

On pace to be
68-50 Ohio St.
That would be both Ohio St. +3.5 and the under.
