Kentucky opens as 7.5 point favorite, and other interesting Friday night numbers

-According to Vegas odds, Kentucky will open as a 7.5 point favorite over the visiting Baylor Bears tomorrow in Rupp Arena. Both teams are coming off of a loss in their previous game. Kentucky looks to extend their undefeated streak in Rupp Arena during the John Calipari era. Predictions on the spread?
– Future Kentucky Wildcat James Young went for 43 points tonight. That’s not a bad day at the office. Somewhere Jack Taylor is not impressed.
– James Young scored more points than either Tennessee OR Georgetown tonight. The two teams met up in the Big East/SEC Challenge. Apparently the biggest challenge for both teams was scoring, as they made Kentucky scoring 50 last night seem impressive. The final score of the game was 37-36. I wish I was kidding. I repeat, 37-36. Georgetown won. Tennessee and those in attendance lost.
– Andrew Wiggins also had a huge night at the Marshall County Hoop Fest. He was named MVP following a 29 point, 17 rebound, 5 assist, 5 block performance. According to those at the game, the chants for Wiggins from the Kentucky faithful were loud and clear throughout the night. According to Ben Roberts, Wiggins also exited the court with a blue Kentucky shirt on. That can’t be a terrible sign, right?

Kentucky by 12!!
I don’t see any Volunteers for that mustache ride.
It wasn’t a Kentucky shirt. It was a Kennedy Fan Shop shirt but it was wildcat blue and had a big “K” on the back— for Kennedy.
Holy crap. That’s the worst facial hair ever. The orange people still manage to find ways to disgust me repeatedly. Have to give them credit for that.
Was Cal there? How did Alexander look?
5, I’ve seen a few tweets of people saying Alexander has looked like a monster
Even with those bangs that is still the best looking woman in Tennessee.
Hey I heard Sal Sunseri the D coordinator at UT called coach Cuonzo Martin and asked him how he held a team under 40 points in a game.
Anyone know if Harrison twins game will be streamed online anywhere?
college basketball is just bad right now. the big whatever/acc challenge was barely ok and now the sec/big least is a joke. stop doing these if this years games are going to be all we can get…BAD BASKETBALL

They claim they’ve been using “Go Big Orange” longer than we’ve been using “Go Big Blue”.
They claim the used the checkerboard pattern first, and we followed.
They claim we are their “Little Brother”.
Does that rile y’all, even a little? I would love to see the UT rivalry ramp back up
again, and leave some of this “UL is our rival” crap behind. UL is not our natural
and right rival. A true rival is a capable equal. UL will never be that. So y’all
who get all hepped up about UL need to forget that jive!
Also, I’ma be pretty p.o.’d if UT hires Petrino and they beat the heck out of us.
I’m behind our coach because he’s our coach. But still I’ma be an angry mofo
if they pick him, pay him, and beat us.
NOTHING SUCKS LIKE A BIG ORANGE.
Somewhere Jack Taylor is busy forcing jump shots over 3 defenders.
I bet UT Dude would dump his wife for a jar of peanut butter and a night alone with Smokey.
This isn’t VolunteerSportsRadio. Never force Orange on me Ally or I’ll give Kobe Bryant your house address and tell him you said to come on in.

Is it football season yet? GBB!!!
Wiggins was as good as advertised, can literally do it all.
Alexander is a beast, looked really good against Oak Hill even tho his team is awful.
Harrisons are big strong guards and Andrew can shoot all over the court.
IF WE GET WIGGINS, GORDON, OR RANDLE, EITHER 1 OF THOSE 3 , THEY MIGHT AS WELL GO AHEAD & HANG #9 CAUSE ITS A RAP! !!! I WOULD PREFERABLY HAVE WIGGINS BUT EITHER 1 OF THE 3 WILL HAVE US CUTTING THE NETS DOWN… GO CATS, ENJOYING THIS RIDE WITH CAL! !!! THINGS R BEAUTIFUL! !!!
Gee all they need to do is show up right? Im greedy want 2 of 3 wait a minute how about all three? still no sure thing lets wait till the end of the season be fore we start talking about championships
Yeahhhhh wiggins didnt leave in a UK shirt, I was there. This is how rumors get started
All MVPs got a blue shirt with the Kennedy’s bookstore “K” on the back. It did look good on him though. I’ve never seen an athlete that can jump to the ceiling 3 times before the other guy can even jump once.
Been watching UK recruits and high school showcase events for 40 years. Saw Wiggins tonight at hoopfest. He is the best I’ve seen in person play in a high school game outside of Lebran James. (Wiggins #2, Shawn Kemp #3, Jimmy Jackson #4, Marcus Liberty #5, Monte Ellis #6) This kids would start in the NBA right now.
Check that.. Make that Quentin Snyder!
15 breaking out the kobe rape joke, nice. it’s been years
LOL at that pic….the “T” must stand for Tool.
No doubt Wiggins is the best high school player I’ve seen at hoopfest. He barely beats out guys before him like Monte Ellis, Brandon Jennings, Carmelo, Derrick Rose, and Rondo. This guy is the real deal and will be an NBA stud no doubt. Very impressive for a high schooler
#25 – henry earl – Yea I know, rape washes clean in no time.
How did that dude grow hair on his lips? Amazing.
Not gonna lie, that is pretty funny.
