This is a 10* BLOCKBUSTER on Notre Dame.
While I won't be so bold as to call for an outright upset here, I do think that the Irish can keep this one a lot closer than what the oddsmakers are leading us to believe and look for it to comfortably sneak in through the back door down the stretch with the large spread that it's been afforded tonight. Notre Dame legitimately feels that it has a shot at the outright upset: "We are America's team tomorrow," Irish coach Mike Brey said Friday. "And we love it, we certainly will take all that support. We've got a monumental challenge on our hands." After its 39 point win over WVU, I think this naturally sets up as a bit of letdown spot for the Wildcats in some small manner. The great equalizer at this point of the tournament is the 3-ball, and Notre Dame shoots it as good as anyone; I also believe the Irish's overall toughness is a factor in which can't be overlooked today. Also note that this is in fact a spot in which Kentucky has struggled in for bettors this year, just 12-13 ATS after allowing 60 points or less, while this is a position in which the Fighting Irish have excelled in by going 6-2 ATS as the underdog and 9-5 ATS after scoring 80 points or more. In my opinion, all signs do indeed point to NOTRE DAME as the sharp move in this contest.
