As the University and Kentucky fans are scurrying about trying to rename today Pat Patterson Day, one nugget of note came to my attention. You may remember about a week ago I threw up a post about UK being the 3rd choice for one particular Vegas sportsbook to win the 2010 championship. Eight days later, the Cats have been bumped up to co-2nd choice with The Extortioner and Louisville at 10/1.After Eric Bledsoe committed, I checked but nothing had changed. We were still the 3rd choice at 15/1. After news of Patrick Patterson coming back for year three hit the waiver wire, the odds went up/down depending on the way you look at these things. It's hilarious this news affected the boys down the road as well, as their number moved from 8/1 -> 10/1. This only gives proof to the notion that all things basketball in the state of Kentucky go through the University of Kentucky.
Pat Patterson has national power. If he's making the gangstas in Vegas move the number, just imagine how much he'll help in Kentucky's goal of world domination! We're comin' people, we're comin'.
Updated odds below for 2010 Championship:
Kansas (6/1)
Kentucky (10/1)
louisville (10/1)
Michigan State (15/1)
Duke (15/1)
North Carolina (20/1)
Wake Forest (20/1)
