All the Sharps are pounding KState vs UK

[bignish]

The line movement for the KState/UK game has been astonishing. While all the Average Joes, Dan Dakich and all of Big Blue Nation seems to think UK will blow KState away, all the sharp college basketball betters (hint: not @WojoRising) seem to be betting on KState heavily.

I thought all the late money would come in on UK pushing the line to -6.5 or -7 since the general public typically bets on the day of the game and UK is a heavy public team but instead its going in the other direction and the line is now KState +5 with the juice heavier on KState (-112)!!!

I can't back either side here but just thought this was really interesting.

Shouldn't be a shocker. I imagine this is going to be a low scoring game. Both teams have played some really, really good defense as of late.

Kentucky is going to score at will killing us on the glass.

Agreed, I locked in UNDER 139.5 points for the game total, feeling good about it.

Second chance points will not be your friend.

First shot points will be his best friend though, I would imagine.

You're about to win some money, my dude.

UK is a lock!!! No way they they don’t cover.

If it seems too good to be true in the world of betting it probably is. That said, I hammered UK vs Buffalo and even though it was nip and tuck for a little UK ultimately smoked the significantly lesser side.

I really believe that UK is peaking right now, they are probably the most talented team left in the field other than maybe Duke, they lack experience (like every year) but as the year goes on and the more experience this group gets under its belt the better they get. They will be an extremely tough out

You just locked in a lock that UK is not a lock to cover.

Sharps bet down the UK/Buffalo line too for what it's worth. I think the under and KSU at +6 where it started was a good bet.

For the most part, it feels like Vegas has done a good job picking lines in the tournament, and a tournament rife with upsets and chaos, at that.

A lock?

I expect Kentucky to win, especially if Wade is limited, but people are acting as if they've suddenly transformed into a juggernaut. They didn't exactly burn through a gauntlet since their losing streak. They played two above average teams, losing by double digits to one and squeaking by the other.

Missouri looked awful at the end of the season. Arkansas is garbage. Alabama mediocre and inconsistent.

If Wade is healthy enough to hit some shots, this could definitely be a game. Weber is a solid Xs and Os coach.

 

[Kevin Bryan]

Meh, I think UK wins by double digits, personally. They should own the glass. I ended up parlaying Zags -5, UK -6, Nevada -1, and Michigan -3. Don't feel really good about it, TBH. Did another where I just picked UK and bought a hook to get UK -5.

It would be a miracle if your parlay holds up.

I took the same as you except I took A&M +3.

UK will win by 15+

 

[Kevin Bryan]

I thought about it. That was the toughest one for me. The way A&M is playing I could easily see them not only covering, but winning. Could even see them winning by a nice margin unless Michigan's offense decides to show up.

Tell me about it. That's why I didn't put much on it. Put a lot more on UK -5 on a single bet.

 

[bkingUK]

As a UK fan I don't touch betting on Kentucky, but if I wasn't I'd stay clear of all Kentucky games. One of the most unpredictable teams I remember. Would take Kentucky to win and under 5 if I had to.

 

[KYtotheCore]

all of Big Blue Nation seems to think UK will blow KState away,

I don't think there's a UK fan alive that has forgotten our inadequacies and losses this year, and abandoning those memories suddenly. I haven't spoken to any fellow fans that feel this is a certain path to the final four. Whenever we started to believe the team was living up to their potential we saw regression in losses, not to take anything away from those teams that won.

We're all hopeful, but we don't have Alzheimer's.

 

[thebasketballreasons]

UK to final four is a lock, sometimes you need a bit of luck to make things happen.

I’ve got Kentucky big. We’ll see who’s sharper.

Just keep posting picks man, we all appreciate it.

Michigan vs Texas AM was such a great matchup for Michigan. I'd slow down your betting if you guys aren't going to take the time to evaluate matchups.

Relax man, I had the Over.

How’re you feeling about Mich vs FSU?

Good. Wagner is able to stretch the floor which is going to be hell for those 7 footers. It should open things up really nicely.
