The Kentucky Wildcats will put their perfect 36-0 record to the test when they face West Virginia in the Sweet 16 on Thursday. The Mountaineers are a double-digit underdog, but the number is a few points lower than in Kentucky's last game versus Cincinnati. The Bearcats held Kentucky to 37% shooting and still lost by 13 points, and I am not convinced that the Mountaineers press defense can be as successful against Kentucky as it was against Maryland.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - Kentucky has played seven games at neutral sites this season, winning all seven with an average margin of victory of more than 23 points. The Mountaineers have failed to cover in five straight against opponents from the SEC.

2. Free Throw Shooting - The Wildcats are cool customers at the free throw line, hitting 72.2% from the charity stripe this season. They were 20-of-28 from the line against the Bearcats, and that proved to be the difference in an otherwise very close game.

3. X-Factor - The Wildcats are 11-3-2 ATS in their last 16 neutral site games.

Selection: This is a play on the Kentucky Wildcats
