    Default Kentucky vs. Rider

    EDIT: Line is out, and I love Rider +18

    Rider ranks 18th in the country in 3 point shooting. Kentucky ranks 281st in 3 point defense. Kentucky is currently a train wreck with guys in the dog house. Kentucky had 0 bench points the other night against Sam Houston State. I honestly believe Kentucky has a real danger of LOSING straight up, I think the 18 points is way too easy here. I don't think they can turn it around in 2 days from beating Sam Houston by 10 to blow out Rider by 20, who already went on the road to Mississippi State and won by about 20.

    Note: Rider did lose their last game to Virginia by about 30 points. Here is why: they were looking ahead to their Super Bowl - Kentucky. They get to play in Rupp Arena and play against a top 5 team. I've seen it happen too many times.

    Rider is way too easy here.

    Rider was a solid team last year. If i remember correctly they loved to slow it down and grind out the games. I don't know how many players they return or if they are playing the same type of ball as last year but if that is the case I would have to take them with 12 points against a team that hasn't come together yet in Kentucky.

    I think you see the line around UK -19. Remember, Rider just lost to Virginia yesterday by nearly 30, and Virginia is an ACC bottom feeder.

    I think Uk -19 is more like it. Regul8er I think your spot on.

    Rider was looking ahead to UK...it's their superbowl.

    Check Rider's 3pt shooting this year, and Kentuckys 3pt shooting defense. I think it will be a close game.

    If the bookmakers set the line that low....they will see 85% of the dollars on UK. They need to up the spread to about -19 in order to get closer to a 50/50 split. Sure UK has struggled early, but they are a National sweetheart in the publics eyes.

    If UK is a 19pt fav in this game put the house on Rider.

    Nitwit mods who don't know what sport we are talking about link it to wrong forum I guess, you would think we would have mods that knew Rider was not a D-1 football team

    There is a certain mod that has a real inability to move threads to the proper forums. He keeps placing the dumbest threads ever in the think tank.

    Oh, I thought you were posting in CFB and the mods were moving it to Player's talk. Why not just post in NCAA basketball handicapping and have them move to players talk.

    I was surprised they are giving Rider 18 points. A good pick for tonight.

    the thing is, you dont know how BAD virginia is. When your a mid major and your playing an ACC school your not thinking about Kentucky at all. Kentucky is drastically overrated but theres a descent chance they blow the lid off of this game

    Kentucky won by about 29, picked up some valuable information on team though, I think this team has put it together

    Kentucky plays YTD: 1-2, -1.20

    Virginia is NOT that bad. They got their 7ft center back today and will get Jamil Tucker (staring caliber PF) back after Thanksgiving break. They are going to surprise a LOT of people come ACC season.

    they put it together in 3 games. Might as well start practicing cutting down the nets.

    No, they did not. He's a defensive presence though. Just came back for this game. They are beating Oral Roberts by 20 right now. Tony Bennett is a winner. Look what he did at WSU.
