KY/Cornell Under 147.5

[chiliv5]

A few things I think about this number.....

1). Will Cornell be able to score under the basket? (no)

2). Will Cornell be able to play transition D? (they better)

3). Will Cornell be able to shoot the 3 ball at a high enough rate? (?)

4). Will Cornell do their best to slow the game down? (they better)

I think all these things add up to the under if Cornell can do them.....
Cornell is not going to try and out run and gun KY
They have to make the most of each offensive set, and limit KY's offensive sets.

I know this is all easier said then done.

Cornell is an outsanding ball team. A smart ball team. I think Cornell needs this game to stay in the low low 70's or even 60's to win.

I am not sure KY covers the 8.5, but I think the under is the right side of it.

Good thinking sir, can't say I disagree.

Does anyone have a link to watch the game online?

No need to bootleg CBS.

I think you're exactly right about the total. It is skewed because of UK's performance last weekend.

[Shafted69]

Great analysis but what about the 3 ball from both squads. Aren't they shooting high percentages so far in the tourney?

[chiliv5]

There is no doubt KY can hit in a hurry. However, my thought is why do they want to jack up 3's in this game? That seems to play in Cornell's favor. You (normally) shoot a worse percent from 3 than 2's each game. I think neither team will come out shooting 3's in fear the other team will take advantage. If Cornell falls in love with the 3 ball that means long rebounds and quick transition for KY.
If Ky jacks them up and isnt hitting that means more offensive sets for Cornell, and less opportunites for second chance buckets for KY.

cornell averages 80 points a game

Cornell's Defense is shit. Wincy, and Temple averaged 50% FG combined.

Game should be a track meet with all those long rebounds off of Cornell missed 3pts.

[chiliv5]

more reason to play the under

[suckerforparlays]

both teams shoot 50% from the field so you never no

[HoulihansTX]

more reason to play the under

The Under is not about missing/making shots. Its about how many shots you get up, and the pace of the game. Cornell shoots the ball early in the shot clock, and Kentucky loves to run with the ball. The UNDER will be hard to pull off, with the amount of shot that will be put up.

[TheAccountant]

I agree with both teams try and control game - Cornell goes into an effective slowdown, this game goes under. The only fear is if Kentucky gets out on a run early and keeps running, turning it into a shootout.

No bet yet, but definitely like the under right now.

[DaColts]

If cornell gets off to a hot start like they can then we have a track meet cause KY will have to pick up the tempo to stay in as they will and win But I say over. If Cornell gets behide and jacks up 3s cause they'll need them to stay in it then I see a over

[ezmoney]

Cornell put up 87 on WI, KY 90 on Wake, I think each team puts up 75 minimum, OVER 147.

EZ

[ericthegangster]

im on this as well

[spongerat]

cornell has been shooting well lately, if they hit their shots i think it goes over

[jboy4]

Not a fan of this total at all. These two teams can score. Best play is to stay away for me. Good luck though.

[thebestthereis]

nobody has mentioned that this game is in the carrier dome and neither team has played there. new game site and that place has a large area where a shooter's line of site is much different than typical basketball arenas, make note this first before you look at anything else. it is NOT a shooter's gym just so you know. good luck!

[chiliv5]

no one else has mentioned that the over looks so easy its free money.... vegas dont give out free money.... it usually means your on the wrong side..... which is another reason i like the under....

shoot- it may be KY 99 Cornell 88. I am just saying if it looks fishy and smells fishy..... its the under!

[THE PROFIT]

92-73 sounds about right. Remember, UK let ETSU put 70 up on 'em. But they put 100

[cubswin]

Cornell will be down so no stall

[Wolf40]

I don't think the under is the right play here boys, I think both these teams weakness is their defense. Kentucky will run and slash their way to 70/80pts and I think Cornell will outsmart and shoot their way to 70/80 pts. Just my thought

[chiliv5]

well when KY wins 77-68 and the total is 145 people will be doing this....




i thought the over would hit...................





i will be saying.....



I hope anyway!!!!!

[Wolf40]

LOL... yeah man trust me I'm not playing the O/U in that game. I hope you hit.
Just can't play an under when both offenses are the strenghts of the teams and both offenses present mismatches that will take advantage of the other teams defensive weakness

[dollarbill]

41-38

Cornell @ intermission

[chiliv5]

Ok, I have watched my fair share of KY. I won't lie, I have not watched my fair share of Cornell. However, how many teams consistently score in the paint vs Cousins and Patterson? Just sayin, Cornell wont make a living under the goal. So, what are their options? Run the shot clock down, shorten the game, make open shots off screens with 3-10 seconds left on the shot clock. Lets not fool ourselves, KY is not just going to let Cornell score at will.... They will control the paint.
I have no more to say. Either I look good and continue my 7-0 run or I am supporting a losin arguement. I think this hits the under and we will all find out in less than 24 hours!
Good Luck if your playin the total either way fellas.....

[IrishTim]

Ivies love the unders.

[dooman14]

1). Will Cornell be able to score under the basket? (no)

2). Will Cornell be able to play transition D? (yes)

3). Will Cornell be able to shoot the 3 ball at a high enough rate? (yes)

4). Will Cornell do their best to slow the game down? (no)

Cornell @ intermission

The average is 34% on 3's.

When Kentucky lost the teams who beat them averaged 71 points

When Cornell lost the teams averaged 81 points

Pick your poison here.

The totals of both teams average 141 red 145 blue with the Ivy the majority being under.

My 1st look Sunday night was over 146.5 with the # rising and it is so I'll predict

76-71 final score Edge to the team averaging 73% from the free throw line!

Good Luck and remember my signature is the way it is........

[HoulihansTX]

Cornell already played at Carrier Dome against the Cuse. Scored 73 pts.

[suckerforparlays]

holy crap could someone please tell me what the play is here 90% of the country is on the over apparently lol so which means I should fade!!

Dont fade totals. Sides are the more predictable fade.

Totals are a #'s that can be completely off, and thats why books have such low limits on them.
