You would have to be insane to bet a ML against Kentucky..
Notre Dame has less than a 50% chance of covering the spread let alone winning outright..
Kentucky could kick the shit outta NBA teams like;
Lakers
6ers
NY
Minnesota
just to name a few..

might be worth a shot
The only issue is Kentucky has an NBA defense and NBA height

Ok can we pump the breaks on Kentucky beating an NBA team. The 76ers have a top 10 NBA defense, they would shred this team! Hell even the Knicks beat the Spurs a couple of weeks ago. There is no way this Kentucky team would stay within single digits of an NBA team.

Heroes? Eh... sBR is full of idiots that tout ridiculous contrarian plays, but I will be surprised if even one poster comes in here and tries to make a case for the Irish.

I can make a case for them. I'm taking the points tho, not the ml. Irish are a better shooting team than kentucky and Irish pass better than UK. Irish are basically the complete opposite of west va, who kentucky just stompedddd. UK will have to adjust to covering 4 guys who score a lot from beyond the arc.
There are a couple keys to beat UK, or should I say strategies that have come very close to beating them 4 times this season. One is clocking down your possessions - something nd does successfully with a ton of extra passes. The other key is to make mid-range jumpers, since you simply cannot get to the rack easily against those trees. Nd can make those shots if they're on.
I don't think kentucky has played a team yet this year on the same talent level as ND / wiscy / zona / Duke / Zaga. I actually think since UK will likely have to go through three of those teams to win a ship, that they actually have the toughest road.

Would you rather win $100 by risking $800 or guaranteed to lose $100 by betting +700.
#1 reason all gamblers go broke. Can't risk on free money.

Much respect Dommer, but those are key words up there.

Exactly.. always are too prideful to take a ML that will hit only because its embarrassing to them to post or it's not edgy enough to get their addiction off on.

No way Kentucky can beat a NBA team; that's asinine. Boys vs Men can't happen.

If the game is played with college rules Kentucky can beat an NBA team. They will have to defend the 3 extremely well because it's like an easy 2 with NBA players.

Need 1 more UK win for the 11th leg in a 12 wheeler (I posted it somewhere).
So yeah I took + 620 , but playing the ML IS insane. Can't see Irish getting backdoor cuts against
Cats, only chance for outright W is to spread em out & shoot 60%.

Kentucky has a few players that would play in the NBA right now. They probably wouldn't even start. Most nba teams have 12 nba players including 5 that start in the nba. The game wouldn't be close.

UK would definitely kick some D-league ass though..

People talking about UK would make the playoffs in the east are talking out of their ass. NY honestly is the only team that I see it possibly being a close game. Every other team would win going away

It doesn't matter what rules or where the game is. College rules make it easier for the pros to win by 50. Most nba teams have 8 guys that can consistently make 20 footers. Kentucky has 1.

This reminds of the talk of Alabama beating the Raiders a few years ago. Even some pro pundits were speculating it could happen

Seems easier (and more) money was on the spread as both cashed.
