OC Dooley:
“2 UNIT” LATE NIGHT NATIONAL-TV LINETRACKER SIDE (Kentucky -8 at Florida in a 9:10 pm eastern tipoff telecast on ESPN): The reason why ESPN College Gameday is in attendance and that this contest is getting the prime late evening slot has to do with the fact that both schools have been and continue to be the prime “flagship” programs of the Southeast Conference. In addition ESPN due to football has special financial interest since they have funded the brand new SEC Network. Since Kentucky is the lone remaining undefeated side in the nation and has a loaded roster featuring 9 different McDonalds High School All-Americans it is extremely difficult to get any kind of “market value” with John Calipari’s crew whose average margin of victory in league play (19.4) has been enormous. But in part due to the fact that host Florida with a new-look roster remains on the NCAA tournament bubble along with a recent 8-2 HOME record versus the opposition we actually so have some value with Kentucky (opened offshore as a seven-point favorite) as there has been only SLIGHT inflation with the number. It was March of last year in the regular season finale when Kentucky lost by NINETEEN point on Florida’s home floor (second-worst defeat in the Calipari era). Due to major revenge and the fact that the Gators defeated the Wildcats twice outright a year ago including the postseason I feel Kentucky will have enough focus to cover the number which the best team in the nation has actually “failed” to accomplish three times in the most recent four outings
