Yes, Kentucky is only 6-4 while surprising Indiana is 8-2. But it's a step too far to believe Indiana has come so far as to be able to upset the Wildcats at Rupp Arena. The Wildcats should be going all out in this home matchup after an embarrassing neutral site loss to Gonzaga, 94-59, eight days ago. The Hoosiers have played only one actual road game this season. That was at Minnesota on Dec. 3. Indiana lost, 73-64, as eight-point road favorites. Indiana can't be trusted to pull this major road upset win. Indiana has not won against Kentucky in Lexington since 1988, although the teams last met in 2016. Kentucky has much better rebounding numbers than Indiana and should be able to control the glass. That will prove pivotal. Take Kentucky on the moneyline.

There is a lot of pressure on this young Kentucky team and for the most part this season, the lines on their games have been taxed heavily by the oddsmakers. Such is the case again here vs. Indiana. The Wildcats have just two losses, but the points matter in their games more than any other team. They are just 10-21-1 ATS in their last 23 games, despite being 30-2 straight-up, meaning the points have reversed the decision 19 times! Indiana is a competent team that has an inside presence with Cody Zeller and an abundance of good three-point shooters to stay in this one. They certainly showed that early in the season when they beat this same Kentucky team 73-72, connecting on nine from beyond the arc. They won despite Kentucky shooting 56% for the game. They also beat the No. 2 seed, Ohio State, and another No. 1 seed in Michigan State by 15 points. Play on Indiana in this one.
