Boy is this spread high for a reason the Kentucky Wildcats have been cover machines and have gotten better as the season goes on they are off a huge road win at the Florida Gators who I had on Saturday. That game was an eye opening game to just how good this Cats team actually is.
Kentucky has one goal and that is a number one seed in the big dance in March and after their first game blowout loss to Duke I tough that goal would be very tough but as I said earlier this team has been getting better and better as the freshman on the team learn coach John Calipari's system.

What makes this Kentucky team so good as they can just blow you out at anytime this was evident against the Gators as they were losing most of the way and in the 2nd half just broke away with a monster 14-0 run and held Florida to just 12 points in the final 13:53. Look for Kentucky to step up on both sides of the ball as the Wildcats blow out the Gamecocks 92-70 on the way to a easy cover and win.
