UK missing two guards and over seeded, and both teams play fast and have volatile results. UK lost 7x by double digits in the last three months, and Illinois has low lows but high highs. Blowout potential if shots fall. Let’s try an Illinois escalator.

🔑 Kentucky ML +116 (FanDuel) 2u I really like this spot here for KU, 2 bad defenses but the slow pace of Kentucky’s offense bodes well in a game like this. Illinois will try and speed the game up and Kentucky likes to play a slower pace, move the ball and hit 3s. They are a better scoring offense and better 3 point shooting team, like this value and spot. My model gives it a B- grade and calculates a -103 line
