Sports Illustrated and CBS’ studo analyst Seth Davis picks Kentucky to upset Florida 77-76 on Saturday.
"In front of the wild denziens at Rupp Arena, including a certain fetching movie-star brunette," writes Davis. "I say UK will capture a little magic and pull off the upset."
Here’s the rest of his UK-Florida entry and the rest of his weekend picks.
To all you Kentucky Tubby haters: He had the plan, The team defense was excellent. Noah and Horford were neutralized. The players, who actually play the game, not Tubby, were given the opportunity to beat Florida by 10-15 points. They choked. Bradley missed critical free throws. Crawford given the chance to shine bombed completely. But who wouldn’t have recruited these highly regared players? They don’t have the guts and the interior fire to play for UK. Given the national stage to shine, they curled up into their little self centered cocoons and choked, Not all…Morris played well and Tubby had them playing great team defense….but they had their chance to hit…no, to will down those shots which should have brought them the victory…and the one word that never used to be associated with Kentucky basketball was…they chocked. But not Tubby. Find players that have the heart and the will to play for the uniform…not these prima donnas. Florida players stick together…don’t have ego problems about going to the NBA…want to win for their team and their school…find those kind of players.
