WIN

Valparaiso has gone UNDER in four of its six lined games this season as it shoots only 41.6 percent from the field and averages 73.6 points while the defense allows just 69 points and a .419 field goal percentage. The Crudsaders won their fourth straight 65-62 over Rhode Island on Nov. 29 with Alec Peters scoring a team-leading 27 points but his team attempted only three three-pointers and made three. Valpo held the Rams to 42.4 percent and just 4-of-17 from beyond the arc. Kentucky comes off an uncharacteristic home loss to UCLA, which shot 53 percent, so look for the Wildcats to come out focused defensively as they still allow just 39.6 percent shooting on the season. Malik Monk led the Wildcats with 24 points against the Bruins but Kentucky was only 8-of-24 from three-point range. Valparaiso has gone UNDER in 27 of its last 35 games as an underdog and six of its last eight road games overall dating to last season. Take the UNDER.
