Kentucky is healthy and heads into the conference tournament playing well so far in March. They have hammered Alabama twice already and I don't see why they can win convincingly again as they are the far better team.
I normally don't like to lay double digit spreads and don't like Kentucky at all but this game has route written all over it IMO. Kentucky has started to come together and should pull away eventually to cover this number.
Everyone knows I am a UNC junky and backed them yesterday but ND has been a thorn in the side of the Heels for years now. They use the pick and roll well against the Heel bigs to get open looks time after time. They spread the floor well taking the Heel bigs away from the basket to neutralize Carolina's size advantage.
Yes, there is a concern of the OT game against Duke as ND will have to shoot the ball well but I think this game comes down to the end and ND covers this.
Considering ND has won 2 of the last 4 meetings and have lost the other 2 games by a combined 3 points shows just how well ND has played Carolina in the past 2 seasons. There is always a chance UNC rolls but unless they start hitting perimeter shots consistently I think ND can cover this game and just maybe have a chance to steal one here.
GL all, let's keep this run going
