Kansas has no offense, and Ohio St choked down the stretch. Kentucky players are freaks out there, They dont even need a half court offense, they penetrate at will or lob it up for easy dunks. And Davis just blocks everything.

shhh.... let the rock brick city chalk kansas guys pound kansas... maybe we get Kentucky lower line and they will be covering it within first 3 minutes of gameComment -
I'm pounding Kentucky 1H line whenever it gets posted.Originally posted by ThaTopMoronComment -
I have to agree...no one can ball with Kentucky this yearComment -
Louisville got close, but no cigar....
UNC was missing their their best player.Comment -
u stop 1 or 2 of Kentucky's guys and the rest just step up their game and dominate your ass! they shot FTs poorly and really only played good enough to win today, and still won by 8... and dominated the game besides that one run by Loui when they cut the lead to 1... then proceeded to get shut down forever after that
this game is as easy as UNC in 09Comment -
i thought maybe these freshmen would hit a wall but they're not ordinary, they are freak athletes on Kentucky. What is it, 5 first round draft picks on the team? Ridiculous. Kansas has just one. Calipari can't even screw this up, just let them play and these freaks will win. Kansas has been playing above their heads all year, they are fighters, but they don't have the ammo to threaten Kentucky. Davis will probably block a bunch of Robinson's shots.Comment -
Kansas is just a better version of Butler from last year... and Kentucky is heads over UConnOriginally posted by OwlsComment -
Kansas has more than 1 first rd pickComment -
Not according to all the draft projections out there. Tyshawhn Taylor and Jeff Withey have no shot in hell of being picked in the first round.Originally posted by YOUNGBUCKComment -
Kentucky better not get that feel sorry for them if by chance they take a big lead. I've seen it a few times when they are up big and they let down some to let the others teams close the gap. I hope this doesn't happen on monday. It makes it tense when the point spread is getting close to cover, of course i lost yesterday by .5 with my big bet. Just do it kentucky.Comment -
The good thing for Kansas is they probably match up defensively with Kentucky better than anyone (maybe other than UNC) in the country 1 through 5.
Tyshawn Taylor on Teague
Elijah Johnson on Lamb
Travis Relaford on Kidd-Gilchrist
Thomas Robinson on Jones
Jeff Withey on Davis
I really think Kansas will be able to slow down Kentucky's offense as well as anyone in the country. They will make this an ugly grind. The problem is, will they be able to put up enough points to cover? They will have a lot of trouble scoring in the halfcourt against Kentucky. Their only hope to cover/pull a shocker is to do the following:
1) Limit the transition of Kentucky.
2) Control the paint just like they did against Ohio State. This is much more difficult to do against Kentucky but they have the pieces in place. They cannot allow Kentucky to live around the rim.
3) Get easy buckets off of missed jumpers. They need to attack any chance they get when they have 2-2 or 3-3 breaks before Kentucky sets their defense.
This should be a fun game to watch. Kansas has the size/athleticism that few teams have to match up with Kentucky. The problem is, Kentucky is just much more skilled offensively. Self will need to work some magic.
My prediction: Kentucky 71 - Kansas 65

topmoron you are comparing k.u [2nd most wins in the history] to be a team like butlerComment
