Long Beach State at Kentucky

The Kentucky Wildcats are a young team and are extremely talented, but the focus could be an issue here. This is the last game before the X-Mas break, so many will be thinking of family friends and not the task at hand. This game is early so some can get home in time for the Holiday. I would expect enough effort to get a win, but likely a less than stellar effort here. Long beach will do everything they can to avoid a track meet because they will get blown out, and they won't be surprised if they zone Kentucky to get them to take some impatient bad deep shots. This is a high total for this type of matchup, and these circumstances and I'll play this one to go UNDER the total.
