Kansas vs Kentucky Prediction
I think Kansas is probably in a better position to win right now and has been ridiculous at both ends of the floor regardless of the competition level. However, you’re not going to get Kentucky as an underdog often this season, and there’s enough talent on this roster to beat anybody on any given night.
A post duo of Momcilovic and Moreno is as good as it gets in college basketball. Alex Wilkins and Justin McBride are hitting their threes. The underdog has also covered each of the last four games between Kentucky and Kansas. These are two teams capable of making Final Four runs come March. To get points with either side is tough to turn down. I have to grab the free buckets with the Wildcats on Tuesday night.
