Kentucky -25 over Hofstra *****
Think Pride will have big time problems scoring vs the Cats but more importantly trying to stop them...Pride has some decent gds in Pember,Powers and Bernardi..all avg in the 13-14 range...Bernardi is a sharp shooter but needs to be open to take his shot...Cats have one of the best perimeter defenses in the country holding teams to under 26% FG...plus all 3 Cats gd are quick and athletic but also all are 6'3...but its the inside game that will cause the Prides biggest problems... Pride has 6'9 Gusty who leads the nation in rebounding with 13 bds a game...but he has dominated over smaller and slower centers...Cats front line have Adebayo,Willis,Gabrielle,Humphries and Jones...all 6'9,6'10,7'0.....inside Gusty will have a tough time playing post defense..and if he gets into foul trouble Pride has only 6'6 or 6'5's interior defenders...Monk,Fox and Briscoe at the top can all score and play defense....Adebayo does everything....maybe close in the beginning but see the Wildcats putting the Pride away big time...Cats are coming off a loss to UCLA and are playing in Brooklyn ...big audience...showtime...
FSU -2.5 over Florida **
Tenn +19 over NC **
St joes -5.5 ovr Drex **
yest 2-5 -10*'s....
Maryland game was a killer....Turg played 10 guys throughout and kept it close despite up by 25....at one point....he let up and got to play a lot of his players...exactly what I would do if I was coaching..preparing for the B-10 opening....but damn why do it when I'm -13 on them....
top play.. Wildcats win big....Calipari will not do what Turgeon did yesterday...
