Women Basketball is our passion and its were we best at, most of you knew that already :)
First wager of the new College Women Hoops season 2014/15
the Baylor Lady Bears travel to Kentucky, this will be a different Baylor team this season , without their super stars Brittney Griner and Odysee Sims I doubt that the new Baylor roster has the quality of the last years, Kentucky is heading in the other direction and is one of the TOP teams this year in the NCAA
so we go with the Kentucky Wildcats on Marathon night plus the points , I would not be surprised if they win outright
so our selection for tonight:
