Point Spread: -14.00 | -106.00 Kentucky (Home)
Result: Win
Point Spread: -14.00 | -106.00 Kentucky (Home)
Result: Win
The Kentucky Wildcats are miles ahead of the competition in the college ranks, and they will be a big favorite versus the UCLA Bruins at the United Center on Saturday. The Bruins are coming off a double-digit home loss to Gonzaga, and it's not going to get any easier against Kentucky.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Depth - The Wildcats probably have more talent coming off the bench than most teams have in their starting lineup. "That's the whole idea of the platoon system, trying to bring in fresh bodies and wear the other team down," said Kentucky freshman guard Tyler Ulis.
2. Three-Point Shooting - Devin Booker was 3-for-3 from beyond the arc in the win over North Carolina, and he's hitting .405 from three-point range on the season.
3. X-Factor - UCLA is 0-8 ATS in it's last eight versus the SEC.
Selection: This is a play on the Kentucky Wildcats (8*)
