This is a 10* BLOCKBUSTER on Kentucky.

A couple of No. 1's collide in the Final Four, for a number of different reasons I expect undefeated Kentucky to remain so once again after this game is over and to pull away down the stretch for the comfortable ATS cover. It would not be hard whatsoever writing a convincing argument for either of these teams obviously, but I simply think this is a match-up which clearly benefits the Wildcats and think Kentucky's speed will prove to be just too much for the Badgers to overcome this time. Granted, Wisconsin center Frank Kaminsky is a match-up problem for any team he faces, but beyond him and Sam Dekker, who else can the Badgers turn to? This plays right into the Wildcats "wheel house" defensively, who employ a "help" style of defense. Also note that Wisconsin is just 6-7 ATS in its last 13 vs. good defensive teams that allow 64 points or less per contest, while Kentucky is a perfect 3-0 ATS this season when playing with five or six days of rest. The WILDCATS overall team depth is the reason I'm backing them today.
