This game is a huge rivalry, and there have been many high-level games over the years. I would expect this one to be good. Kentucky brings the #9-ranked team to Louisville, and the Cards are ranked #12. There is a lot at stake here for both teams, which are expected to make a big run in the Tournament. Both teams are 2-0, but this will be the first real test for both these squads. The Wildcats finished 6th in the SEC last year, and what held this team back was their inability to win on the road, where they are now 4-6 SU in their previous 10 road games. The Cards finished tied for second in the ACC last year with an 18-2 record. Louisville has been lethal at home, where they are 16-3 here since last November. I like Louisville.

This rivalry goes back a long way, as each program has had its moments at the top of College Basketball. At the moment, I think the bulk of the talent on the floor for this one belongs to Kentucky. The Cats are still putting things together but have a lot of answers. Louisville had a big moment with a win over Indiana, but games against Ole Miss, Duke, and Tennessee showed how far this team has to go to compete at a high level on a nightly basis. Those three games mentioned above saw the Cards lose by a combined 56 total points or nearly 20 a game, so a blowout here is not out of the question. The Cats have beaten Duke and Gonzaga, and the offense has been NBA-like, with 100+ points in four games already. Louisville isn't ready for prime time at this point. Make the play on Kentucky.

Kentucky has a four-guard attack that runs at opponents averaging 90.2 points, shooting 49.5% from the field, and over 40% from long range. Seven players are scoring over 9.5 points per game. They're on a 7-1 run OVER the total after an 87-83 win over North Carolina. Kentucky is 23-12 OVER the total as a favorite. Louisville is 13th defensively in the 15-team ACC surrendering 73.6 points per game, plus dead last allowing .446 shooting by opponents. Kentucky won last year's meeting 86-63, in a game that went OVER the total by double-digits, and this shapes up as another offensive show. Play Kentucky/Louisville OVER the total.
