South Carolina +16

whatsgood5 · 02-25-10, 01:28 PM

Also like SC plus the points. I obviously don't see it being as close as it was when SC was at home, but I do think they will be able to keep it within ten tonight.

Downey has struggled a bit in his last couple of games and is due. This game is nationally televised and Downey will raise his game. There isn't a real good way to game plan for him... he can control a game by himself. I like South Carolina +16. I think Kentucky wins by 10 or less.

My feelings exactly..lets see it Downey.

allday1113 · 02-25-10, 01:40 PM

I would lean towards Kentucky -16. Don't get me wrong, I like Downey as much as the next guy, but he's not going to be able to cover this spread alone. Their bench is terrible, and Raley-Ross is the only other starter they have that can play (and even he is mainly just a three point specialist). The other three are garbage.

Let's not forget, South Carolina only starts one player over 6-5 and struggles defending inside as a result. How are they going to match up with Patterson and Cousins? Tennessee recently beat this team by 26. Remember what Kentucky did to Arkansas a month ago? I'm not expecting a performance quite like that, but this game could get ugly in a hurry. Give the points.

Another key will be if SC can contain Cousins underneath. Also can Cousins keep his emotions in check? I think he is much better now than he was in their first meeting but def a loose cannon which affects his game sometimes.

GoldRush7 · 02-25-10, 01:46 PM

that's a lot of points to cover.... hopefully Downey shows up big

Who's going to defend Patterson and Cousins? Jackson and Muldrow? My goodness. It's going to be a field day for those two.

Boxer300 · 02-25-10, 01:49 PM

SC doesn't match up well with Tennessee... never have. SC always gives Kentucky a good game. Downey will get enough help to keep within 10 pts. SC has had Kentucky's number.

Boxer300 · 02-25-10, 01:51 PM

The same 2 guys who defended Patterson and Cousins in the first game. Patterson has struggled and not played aggressively enough this year because of Cousins. Gl with the points

cakasmaloy · 02-25-10, 01:53 PM

i really like UK -16. they arent going to be caught surprised like the first matchup... downey will get locked down.

Wolf40 · 02-25-10, 01:55 PM

I'm not on either side of this but didnt SC beat them already by 6? Who matched up with them during that game?
I actually think kentucky mght win by 20 but still you can't act like SC can't even cover anybody b/c they already did!

Road/Home are two completely different ball games. Downey's going to have to drop 30 again just for them to cover this time.

You realize Cousins had 27 and 12, right?

Wall and Bledsoe combined to go 8-23 with 9 turnovers. I'm guessing that's not going to happen at home.

Rbyrne · 02-25-10, 02:04 PM

Downey sucks...****n coon

Boxer300 · 02-25-10, 02:11 PM

I get the feeling Downey cost you some money somewhere along the way Rb

Rbyrne · 02-25-10, 02:18 PM

nope...you gotta be crazy if u think id ever lay a dolla on SC

phatgentleman · 02-25-10, 02:20 PM

thats alot of points

THEGREAT30 · 02-25-10, 02:22 PM

I'm not touching this but USC may lose by 30, good day

Boxer300 · 02-25-10, 02:33 PM

I meant betting against SC Rb... geez. Because SC does play much better at home this will only be a small play for me

1UP · 02-25-10, 02:36 PM

I saw this last night and was appalled. Personally, I'd say square bet. Kentucky at home should run them off the court, but I'm seeing 11 points at the most.

I'll be waiting for the 2nd half though just to save myself the headache. Betting against Kentucky isn't very good for you this year.

Rbyrne · 02-25-10, 02:44 PM

SEC is just a slower paced game...kentucky wins by 12...they never cover big spreads

Rbyrne · 02-25-10, 02:45 PM

thats just my opinion....this game is a no play for me....Duke -18...lock it up...duke is a team that actually blows teams out on the reg

SEAHAWKHARRY · 02-25-10, 02:47 PM

too many points either way.. ky could implode or explode

Are you kidding me? If you like South Carolina fine, but it won't be because the pace is too slow. Both these teams play at fast paces.

hrgonz0 · 02-25-10, 03:02 PM

downey...good player, and he took over the game towards the end the last time these two teams met. the guy did shoot 9-29 though - not necessarily the super stellar performance espn and the other analysts have been touting it as. saying that though, 16 is a lot of points. there's gotta be better games out there tonight to be played.

THE PROFIT · 02-25-10, 03:03 PM

UK has one loss and it's to these bastards. At Rupp, SC gets embarrased. They'll wish they had just forefeited & saved the trip.

can south carolina shoot freethrows well because those are gonna keep them in the game while kentucky is missing theres

Boxer300 · 02-25-10, 04:18 PM

Unfortunately their free throw shooting is not good
FREE THROWS-ATT.......... 324-499
Free throw pct......... .649

khaden · 02-25-10, 04:21 PM

tough one to call--you would think the logical play is Kent minus the points at home. National TV and playing the only team that beat them this year at home. I would think they will be jacked up and will not hold back if they start to run away with it.

THE PROFIT · 02-25-10, 04:28 PM

If they can beat them by 50 they will. There will be no let up.

HoulihansTX · 02-25-10, 04:53 PM

Kentucky by 30, and up by 20 in the firstH.

Trap of all traps this game is. I knew USC would be big time Dogs in the rematch. This game wont be close at anytime.

fizzler · 02-25-10, 04:55 PM

yeah i don't agree with you, kentucky will come out firing

Jasonal_98 · 02-25-10, 05:27 PM

I like Kentucky in the game. The line is set to pull bettors toward SC.
