Looks like UK is going to be something like a 4-point favorite at The Yum! Chris Mack has coached-up a middling bunch of Cardinals into a dangerous opponent; I expect a competitive game well into the 2nd half. UK's power game should ultimately prove the difference but expect Mack to play a lot of Zone to protect the interior and make UK prove themselves from the arc. You can bet UL will have a solid plan going into the game.
Mack deserves a lot of respect. Look at what is happening w/ Xavier since he left and what he's done w/ Louavull in the early going.
Of course, the temptation is to look at the common opponent (Seton Hall) and draw a conclusion. UL played from behind most of the game at Seton Hall and came away w/ the "W". UK played from ahead most of the game and lost in OT at a neutral site. You can follow that logic if you want but it's all about match-ups to me.....
If UK improves off the UNC effort then the Cats win going away; if they come in feeling full of themselves then the result will be in doubt.
