Kentucky shot 46.3% from the field and made 10 three pointers in the win. Oscar Tshiebwe led the Wildcats with 27 points and 19 rebounds in the game.

The Tennessee Volunteers are 18-6 (9-3) this season and have won four games in a row. Tennessee defeated Vanderbilt by a score of 73-64 in their last game. Tennessee only shot 36.7% from the field, but did make 22 free throws in the game. Zakai Zeigler led the Volunteers with 16 points and 5 assists in the win.

Kentucky is 4-11-1 ATS in their last 16 road games and 1-11 ATS in their last 12 Tuesday games. The under is 6-2 in Kentucky’s last 8 road games. Tennessee is 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games following an ATS loss. The under is 9-3 in Tennessee’s last 12 Tuesday games. The road team is 5-1 ATS in these two teams last 6 head to head meetings.

These two teams come into this game ranked second and third within the SEC conference, with Kentucky being second. Both teams have been playing great basketball this season, anchored by really great defensive play. With this in mind, I am taking the under here as I think it will be a slow paced game with plenty of defense.

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
