After Kentucky steam-rolled Kansas earlier this week, and the 76ers continue to lose NBA games, the always hilarious debate between who would win a 7-game series between the best college team and the worst NBA one is heating up.
According to former Kentucky and current Phoenix Suns guard, Eric Bledsoe, Kentucky would easily win the series. “I’m definitely taking Kentucky,” Bledsoe said on Sirius Radio on Wednesday. “I think Philly would probably get maybe one game.”
Similarly an ESPN poll, as seen above, shows that 54% of voters believe that the No.1 ranked Wildcats would win the series. Vegas, however, thinks differently and would the 76ers would be the favorites:

Could a college team really beat an NBA team? I highly doubt it, even if Kentucky has several lottery picks and 10-players that could make an NBA roster.
