Cut off their offensive rebounding, and Kentucky has a good, not great offense. Cinci's problem is going to be scoring on Kentucky's dominant defense.

Kentucky is so good because their collection of size and athleticism just overwhelms every team they play. They own the rim on both offense and defense. It's a long shot for sure, but if Cinci can rebound and "muck it up" enough, an upset is possible.

Cincinnati is one of the worst offensive teams in the country and Kentucky is the best defensive team in years.

Forget Kentucky's offense - Cincinnati just will not come close to scoring enough to win.

This one has 65-40 written all over it.

Kentucky may be the best team I've ever seen in terms of closing out on pick plays and switching. Like you said, they have so much active size available. Still I'm not sold on them on the perimeter on the offensive side. They are definitely beatable in the right conditions.

Cincy just got eaten alive on the boards by Purdue. What is Kentucky going to do to them?
 
I'm a huge Bearcat fan right now- why not?
They play great D - play hard and are the only team still in the game representing the AAC.
If they win their next game I might even go out and buy a Bearcat tee shirt (whatever that is).
 
Cincy will pack the paint. UK is big, but Cincy wont be scared at all. This will be the beat defensive team UK has faced all year im pretty sure.
 
I'm a huge Cincy fan until they get into a better conference. Then I hate them with the fire of a thousand suns.
 
I didn't have the balls to pick Cincy to upset UK, but the way they play defense and are physical, really think this game can be interesting. UK gonna learn quickly that this isn't one of the garbage SEC teams they're playing.

Kentucky will win but they are going to be bruised after the game. At least they have guys that are not a foot shorter.
