A reasonable day Friday - but the big 'un on the Tar Heels was cashed. Lost a couple we could have won and won one we should have lost. Another Triple Dime coming to a theater near you later - along with more solid information on other games. Here's one we're on early, and you can get a better number now.

Analysis: I'll pay the premium here - but small of course. This is Auburns' fourth game in four days, and they play up-tempo (see tired). They played a physical and up-tempo team yesterday in LSU. Kentucky did what they do, which is wake up in the second half against Florida. It's only Kentucky's second game, and now they've seen the venue in Nashville. Because Auburn has won a few - it's my thinking that they don't take any prisoners, even tho they destroyed them earlier this season. Auburn's bench is short to begin with (see tired), and the only way they score is firing three's. IMO it's time Kentucky named the score, and I think they do. They've got a length advantage over everyone - but a huge one over Auburn. Auburn has the 14th (worst) defense in the SEC - they're the worst offensive rebounding team - they have the worst interior defense (see size) - they are the worst shot blocking team (see size) and the second worst team in getting shots blocked (see size). The fact that Auburn wants to play fast is only good for Kentucky. More possessions and that's all there is to that.
