I knew what you meant. Agree don't like the story it is telling. MSU red hot. I put a bet on UK on the 3.5 and on the money line +150 and I never bet on UK.

Kentucky needs to hold serve here. Still sitting at the #5 spot for the SEC Tournament. Alabama and especially Tennessee don't exactly have the easiest remaining schedules either.

I don't know that the seeding picture comes entirely into focus until the final buzzer sounds on the last night of the regular season, but I do feel that this Kentucky team needs a favorable seed/draw to do well in March-- that starts with a good showing in  the SEC Tournament.

If the Cats can't get a Top 4 seed in a favorable region, I would just as soon see them as a 6, 7, or 10 in a weak region... lately the 4/13 & 5/12 games seem like death traps for Power 5s against tough mid-majors & the 10 seeds look reserved for Power 5's backing their way in.

Would certainly want to avoid the #8/9 line and seeing a 1 seed in the 2nd Round (unless we got Purdue in Rupp).

Cats aren't getting a 8/9 seed. Not happening. I look for a 4 or 5. Outside chance for a 3. 6 seed if we finish poorly.

I don't like the story that the early MSU line is telling. Expected more than UK -2.5 to open.

UK +2.5 to open. Now up to +3.5.

You are correct. I must have had fat fingers on the keyboard yesterday.

If I was a betting man, I would have bet as you did. However, this season it's far from a sure thing. I think the Cats will win but I wouldn't be at all surprised if they lose by 8 or 10.
