Team Records and Recent Performance:

Kentucky Wildcats: Holding an 18-9 overall record and a 7-7 mark in Southeastern Conference (SEC) play, the Wildcats are aiming to rebound from a recent 96-83 loss to Alabama.

Key Matchups and Factors:

Rebounding: Kentucky’s dominance on the boards will be crucial against Oklahoma’s defense.

Turnovers: The Wildcats need to minimize turnovers to prevent the Sooners from capitalizing on fast-break opportunities.

Interior Play: Oklahoma has struggled with interior defense, which Kentucky can exploit with their strong inside game.

Kentucky vs. Oklahoma CBB Prediction:

I’m taking the ‘Cats. Kentucky has won four out of its last five games overall at the betting window. The Wildcats did fail to cover as a 12-point road underdog against Alabama in their last matchup, but they failed to cover by a single point. On the other side, the Sooners have lost five out of their last six games straight up. They have also lost five out of their last six games at the betting window.
