LSU @ Kentucky

Who will WIN this matchup?

LSU Tigers (10-3)

@ Kentucky Wildcats (4-9)

 

Current odds:

LSU Tigers: (+105)

Kentucky Wildcats: (-125)

 

• The line for this game is Kentucky by 1.5 points.

• Kentucky is coming off a game that slipped away in the final seconds. LSU’s last game was a lost cause long before the final seconds. Both teams will try to bounce back when they meet in an SEC game Saturday at Lexington, Ky.

• The Wildcats (4-9, 3-3 SEC) had a six-point lead at Georgia with two minutes remaining Wednesday night. But Kentucky didn’t score again and the Bulldogs scored the final seven points, winning 63-62 on a last-second layup by P.J. Horne. Kentucky had a key turnover and a missed front end of a one-and-one along with the defensive breakdown at the end of the game. The game against LSU (10-3, 5-2) is the only one in the next five for the Wildcats that is not against a ranked team.

• The Tigers couldn’t find the gas pedal at all in a 105-75 home loss to No. 18 Alabama on Tuesday. The Crimson Tide made 12 3-pointers in the first 13 minutes, John Petty II made his first six 3-pointers and Alabama finished with an SEC-record 23 3-pointers.

• LSU entered the game with a four-game winning streak and had a chance to tie the league-leading Tide, but instead allowed the most points in Wade’s four seasons as head coach.
