Considering that the No. 1 Kentucky Wildcats dominated the No. 5 Kansas Jayhawks, winning 72-40 with relative ease, the question has since been posed as to whether the Wildcats would be able to defeat the hapless Philadelphia 76ers.
The Sixers are now 0-11. They are statistically among the worst defensively in the NBA and, likewise, also among the worst offensively.
Still, for all of the talented, young big men that Kentucky boasts on their roster, Philly still boasts a lineup of grown men, seasoned with professional experience. That is the argument that many make in favor of the winless NBA team.
It’s also the side that Hall of Fame guard and NBA on TNT analyst Reggie Miller stands by.
People SERIOUSLY?? You can spot Kentucky 15 points, game played on neutral site, I will still take Sixers by 20, maybe 25.. #EasyMoney

And the more I think about it, forget neutral site, Sixers will play them in their building!!!

Wednesday afternoon, Phoenix Suns guard and former Kentucky Wildcat Eric Bledsoe made an appearance on a Sirius XM NBA Radio show, where he said that his alma mater would beat the 76ers in a seven-game series.
“I’m definitely taking Kentucky. I think Philly would probably get, maybe, one game.”
ESPN’s SportsNation got wind of his comments and took the hypothetical to the people that matter, the fans.
The fact that the poll results are even this close in favor of Kentucky demonstrates how poorly Philadelphia has looked thus far into the 2014-15 NBA season. Either that or sports fans haven’t actually seen them play.
