Arkansas has some young talent that can put together a pretty good game...especially against hated Kentucky. This is a game that the students and alumni alike stand throughout the game and use their almost 20,000 voices to pump up the team.
Being an ex-Arkansan, this is just the homer in me talking. I do think that Arkansas has just as much a chance of upsetting Kentucky or playing close as they do of just falling apart. I'm not kidding myself to think that Arkansas has the depth of talent that UK does, but young kids on crowd-induced adrenaline with good D-1 talent could be dangerous for Kentucky. Ron Brewer is the real deal and Stephen Hill is a defensive obstacle in the paint....can't score, but he'll definitely alter some shots. Modica can score as well.
I have a policy of not betting on Hog games. So, I guess it's a good thing I don't have to make up my mind which side to be on, but the numbers I look at had it at about 2 points.
