National champoinship predictions

I hit the nail on the head when I said UK would win by 8 over the Cards so I figured I'd start this thread

I don't think this game will be as close as the UofL game...I'm gonna say Cats by 14

True you did, congrats! I think I had UK by 4 on that game. Against Kansas I'll go UK by
8.

I was off by two points at the half and four points at the end, not bad. Good job Steven on nailing the final outcome.

Tonight it will be UK by 10 points but never really that close. Kansas can't compete with the Kentucky defense, it's just to good.

I still can't believe Louisville beat Kentucky on the boards, they just missed too many shots at the cup....I call it the ''Davis Factor''

That UL game was the best thing for UK. That was a good test on playing with extreme pressure and Playing a team that will not give up. Kansas will play tough like always but UK has to many players that can give them a boost.
I'm not sure if I'll be awake for the whole game. :)
What in the world made UK miss so many FT?? Pressure? Missing shots get into their heads??

I'm going with not facing many pressure free throws during the year....When it comes tourny time and the games on the line that basket looks like a cheerio...Not getting tested much is starting to show

They used up all of their "makes" against Indiana.

I'll be rooting for UK, but I'll be rooting more for a total of 152 or less so I can become the undisputed Fishin.com bracket champion, via final score tiebreaker.

UK by 9. Too much length and athleticism around the rim for UK!

Double digit vic for the cats (77-66)...Won office pool for the second time in a row. Cal will get his National Champ.!! Hope this will quite the ney-sayers on here ...that said he would never win one; well he has been on the scene now in Lex for three years now..twice in final 4...longest home winning streak in the nation. He is more than a recruiter...he is an outstanding coach!
I here that the "Kid" will return next year, so don't believe what you hear in the news.. Jones, again considering his return; his love for Cal just keeps on growing. Also the class for the reload next yeat is looking great; have you head? God bless big blue nation!!

I hope those guys come back just to watch another season of maturity and skills grow for these guys. Heard some ESPN fellas on TV slammin Calipari as a good recruiter (not great) and a mediocre coach. They maintain that UK is a conduit to the NBA and that alone brings kids to UK.
I dont agree with their assessment but I think alot of folks think that way.
No matter Go Cats and I'm ready for tipoff!

I listened to the same thing and agreed with some of what they said...I don't think Cal is the greatest X's and O's coach in the game, but nobody can deny him as a recruiter....He did at UMass, he did it at Memphis, and he has taken it to a whole new level at UK...I'm really getting tired of hearing all the crap about UK being a farm team for the NBA...If you recruit the best talent in the nation, and Cal does, you're going to have guys leaving for the NBA...Before any IU or UL fans spout something off, answer a question for me...Would you have been mad if you're favorite team had this freshman class with Teague, Davis, Wiltjer, and Kidd-Gilchrist...Would you have been mad if you're team had Knight, Lamb, and Jones last year? Would you have been mad if your team had Cousins, Bledsoe, Wall, Orton two years ago? Nobodys gonna turn down the top talent in the country, nobody

Cats by 6...

this is supposed to be fun.....im not having fun right now....my stomach is all messed up.....for crying out loud lets get this over with !
