Taking the Rebels +5(-120). Biggest home game of the year. After two heartbreaking road losses last week, the Rebels have to have one of these two games this week(this one is more likely than FL). The place will be loud tonight, and I expect it to give Kentucky's young guys some trouble. I have the Rebels +5 for 4u.
Wow. Fully expected you to be opposite here. I know is tough to take a road fave but I'm on KY -4.5.
I just think the KY bigs will overwhelm the Rebs front court and swat any Rebs penetration (Millinghaus especially). I think KY will dominate the boards and Coach Cal will run a defense to somewhat keep Marshall in check (he also has a lot of long defenders to throw at him). Marshall actually had a good game in Lexington but it was still too much to overcome. We're usually in the same page on ole miss games but I like KY here.

I usually play against UK, but not in this situation. UK needs this game just as much. Coming off a loss to Florida, this team has had 2 really good practices and actually playing pretty well the last 2 weeks. Sure, they lost to Florida, but they have been much better. OleMiss is one of those teams that UK matches up with very well. I have UK winning by 7.
I understand how some could see the other side of this game. That is fine. I can see UK winning the game. But Ole Miss is a different team at home. I expect it to be at most a 3 pt game either way. Ole Miss got railed by the officials in Lexington(who doesn't), and I don't see that happening tonight. In that game, UK shot 36 FT's and Ole Miss shot 10. Ole Miss was within one point at halftime, only to see UK pull away late when the FT discrepancy really took over. I expect UK to win the rebounding battle again, but I look for Ole Miss to force some turnovers.
Again, I can see both sides, but Im going with my gut on this one.
