You underestimate the importance of experience. The same post in which you slight a #3 NCAA seeded MSU team that made the final four, you give props to a Kentucky team that lost in the first round of the NIT. Having a team that consists of four and five star players doesn't always translate to the hardwood immediately. Last year was a perfect example. Not to mention that the SEC isn't exactly a great basketball conference.

I will be taking MSU in this one. I could see it going either way however. New year, new Kentucky team.

MSU got blown out in the Sweet 16. I'm not giving giving props to the Kentucky team last year, I'm using it as an example of a crappy Calipari team (who was also inexperienced) performing well in an early season game. This isn't just any team made of four and five star players, it's arguably the most talented team in college basketball history. Has any team ever had 7 lottery picks on its roster?

And how is the fact that they play in the SEC relevant? It didn't stop the 2011-2012 from winning the title or the team the year before that from going to the Final Four.

70% bets surprisingly backing the Spartans. But i would have
thought the same thing.

Must be b/c Kentucky played poorly in their 1st game.

They won by nearly the same amount in both games. They came out flat in the first half but their PG Aaron Harrison was playing his first game after missing the two exhibition games.

Anything can happen but that is true for literally every game. Lol. UK should be about -180 favorite IMO, and the spread should be about -3.5 UK.

I've watched every Kentucky game since the Tubby Smith era and I've never been this high on a UK team. Randle is as good of a player as Davis, and barring an injury, I believe he will the #1 pick next year.

This team is the real deal guys. It's gonna take a great game from MSU to win it.

I got Kentucky +145.

Nice to find someone on Kentucky here. Seems like every year about this time Michigan state is rated higher than they deserve and they slowly fade to where they belong. Am I wrong? Anyway im taking the points here.

Another reason I've thought about. I honestly don't see an angle someone could take that would justify MSU as the favorite. Unless you think experience outweighs all of these factors, which the public apparently does.

thoughts on the half over 69.5???

You mad bro · 11-12-13, 07:33 PM

Why is 2011-2012 important?

MSU is whooping ass.

matt892 · 11-12-13, 07:52 PM

This game is already over!

bjb7223 · 11-12-13, 07:54 PM

pattymayo · 11-12-13, 07:55 PM

hit the over solid!

stocker08 · 11-12-13, 09:12 PM

Looking like another NIT bound Kentucky team.

You mad bro · 11-12-13, 09:14 PM

lmao kentucky hasnt shown up in any of their games yet

calebepley93 · 11-12-13, 10:37 PM

Meh. UK played about the worst game it could possibly play and still had a good shot at winning. Unless you could foresee Kentucky turning it over 20 times and missing almost 20 FT's, i still think they should've been favored.

but the game ended up exactly where the line was so what do I know. Lol I still wouldn't want to play this team in March.

By MSU "slowly fading to where they belong" I assume you mean a generally consistent Final Four team.

I have no problem with MSU fading to that point.

Hail Sparty and fukk the Wildcats.
