Savage, while unquestionably UK has more pure talent, I still like the Shockers. To me, experience and leadership are so valuable during the tourney and The Shockers have both. UK has been playing very good ball, but they still are young and tend to lose focus on team play. The injury to Harrison does not help UK either. Witchita St. gets the nod in team defense IMO and shoot a higher percentage from the charity stripe(so valuable down the stretch). While UK is a different team than Duke, I parallel that game with Mercer to this match up. GL whatever you decide!
A very scary game, no doubt, I am personally on the under 134.5. I don't know how you cap the spread in this. I think Kentucky also has something to prove as they were very hyped before the season and were not the world beaters the media made them out to be. You can't help but think Kentucky has the attitude of "Our bloodlines are royalty in the basketball world and we're going to show your shit ass dust town what its like to play royalty" Not to mention the other side, Wich st has a whoooooooooooooole bunch of shit to prove to the world. Very tough indeed.
