well we all know kentucky is down again this season. Looking over their schedule you'd be lying to yourself if you said they've really had one stand out performance all year long. If you want to know why this team has been outclassed, badly, by every big school they've played, look no further than the ft line. kentucky has been allowing teams to shoot 10, 15, 20 more fts than them in all their big games. Houston, uab, unc, louisville, and indiana all had huge fta advantages over kentucky. what does that tell you? this team cant play defense, they just arent all that atheltic. the wildcats have a decent fg% defense, but they cant keep players from getting position on them and that gets them killed game in and game out. health has been an issue for kentucky this season and they claim to be nearing 100% but four cats - Joe Crawford (foot), Jodie Meeks (hip), Derrick Jasper (knee/toe) and Michael Porter (back) - all missed practice time this week and are the equivalent of questionable for Saturday's game according to catpause.com.

Vanderbilt comes into Rupp with a very young team and its tough to predict how some of the freshman will start out vs the 24 thousand screaming fans in blue. This team has had a couple tests this season, but they havent seen anything like what they'll see on Saturday in Kentucky. The key for the commodores will be 6-10 c Andrew Ogilvy who was one of the nations top recruits and will give kentucky a huge matchup problem down low. The wildcats will likely have to double him which leaves open shots for the best 3 point shooting team in the nation. if they want to take their chances 1 on 1 with Ogilvy they'll likely lose 75% of those battles. if they opt for some zone, again, The Commodores are well coached and will find open looks from long range. Vandy is coming off a conference win that saw them shoot poorly, but still figure out a way to get the win. playing on the road will be much different, but i think the teams confidence, post presense, and ability to knock down the 3 give them an advatage here. Not to mention the fact that if the trend continues, and kentucky puts their opposition on the line all day, Vandy is a very good ft shooting team.

it seems vegas wants us to take Vandy, and i'll take them up on their offer.

my play:
Vanderbilt +1

im a late night/early morning man. i sleep from time to time, but i love the talks, and keeping things moving in the early morning hours is something i enjoy. taking the time to do some write ups and talk sports is enjoyable for me. im a beer freak, if i added speed to my system im not sure what would happen. its certainly not needed.

[mofome]

love it mo, you know im on it

i was undecided going into this one, but the info pointed me to a vandy play. i know you're on it already, bol my friend.

great movie. you should watch that and owning mahony. i htink all punters should watch those two before they gamble for serious amount of money.

[mofome]

in that case, no need.

[LT Profits]

I thought Philip Seymore Hoffman was better in Owning Mahoney than he was in Capote, but I digress.

I LOVE Vandy here. My only fear is a trap, as this line just looks to damn whacky. Should be closer to Vandy -3.5 or so. Then again, maybe it's a simple case where we are benefitting from Kentucky's reputation.

[buztah]

UK is shit this year. I'm on Vandy.

[MBENZ]

I would walk softly here as Gillespie will have his team up for this in Rupp.

OMG your sounding like John Layfield now.

[WestsidePete]

nice write up mofome...I'm on Vandy as well...GL today

[Cee]

vandy lookin ahead to mo vols?

[dodif]

vandy is a trap bet

[jjgold]

yes a trap

all these traps seem like they lose or most do

[mofome]

its a trap that the best player in the game, Ogilvy, got 2 first half fouls and only got off 3 attempts. kentucky has only been whistled for 3 fouls which aint the norm for the cats. we'll see how the 2nd half goes. as i said already, i know the books wanted vandy money, that was obvious enough.

[mofome]

if the best 3pnt shooting team in the country is gonna keep missing wide open 3s, they wont win. chalk it up as a loss.

moving on

[mofome]

Really?

obviously thats really my opinion. yes, really. ty

[mofome]

kentucky living on the line all day...the close calls aint goin their way.

[mofome]

2 point game, 1:38 left.

13 more fts for kentucky on the day, thats the story...first time all season, how neat.

[mofome]

vandy ball, down 2, clown just loses it in the middle of the paint with 2 wide open men to pass to on the outside. nice.

[rjt721]

Gus Johnson's the best.

[mofome]

86% from the line and he misses.

[mofome]

tie game, kentucky goes out of bounds but they give him a timeout?
