Kentucky is 23-10 on the season, 3-2 on a neutral floor and 16-17 against the spread. UK is putting up 76.7 points per game this season while allowing 70.2 per contest. Kevin Knox has been leading the team with 15.5 points and 5.3 rebounds per game while Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is adding 13.4 points and 5.1 assists per contest.

Bet on College Basketball for Sunday, March 11, 2018
Tennessee won its two meetings with Kentucky this season and the Vols have covered the spread in five of their last six with the Wildcats. The Tennessee defense has been able to limit Kentucky to just 65 points or less in both games this season. While Kentucky has looked good this week, the Wildcats have beaten up on two teams ranked seeded ninth and 12th. Tennessee has had to beat two teams better than a ninth seed. Kentucky has struggled with the better teams in the conference and I think those struggles continue today. The public betting is backing Kentucky, but I like the Vols to win.
