Tennessee has lost just seven games, and two have been to Kentucky. Can the Wildcats win all three meetings? It's not going to be easy. With a trip to the Elite Eight on the line, defense is often a difference-maker. Tennessee is sixth in the nation in points given up (62.9 per game) and No. 1 in shooting allowed (38.2%). By contrast, Kentucky allowed the second-most points in the SEC (77.2 per game) and ranked 11th in the 16-team league in field goal shooting allowed (43.5%). Kentucky is on a 4-5 spread run, including 2-3 ATS as an underdog. Kentucky is 21-5 when shooting above 30% from 3-point land, but 3-6 below that. Tennessee's offense is fourth in the conference from the free-throw line (74.4%), while Kentucky has gone 22 of 36 from the charity stripe in two NCAA Tournament games. Play Tennessee.
