This just in: former Kentucky Wildcats think their college team is really, really good.
Much like Eric Bledsoe, DeMarcus Cousins would also bet on Kentucky if they had to face the woeful Philadelphia Sixers in an imaginary Playoff series.
Per CBS Sports:
“I’mma roll with Kentucky as well,” the Kings big man said. “Honestly I don’t know much about the 76ers. I’ll probably go with Kentucky.”
The Sixers obviously disagree; an opinion shared by Wildcats head coach John Calipari and Vegas oddsmakers.
I hear Coach Briggs got excited after the game last night. Let me be clear: If we played ANY NBA team, we would get buried. ANY.
