The set-up: To say this is a big game would be a big understatement. These teams are tied for first place (along with LSU as well) in the SEC right now. Kentucky comes in off a 70-66 win over Arkansas, while Tennessee scored the 73-71 road win over Ole Miss. The home side plays with revenge here though after falling 83-69 in the reverse fixture on February 16th. From an overall situational stand point, this one definitely sets up as more of a high-scoring shootout, rather than a slower-paced defensive oriented "chess match."

The pick: Take it for what you will as well though, but Kentucky has seen the total go over the number in five of its last seven as a road underdog or pick, while Tennessee has seen the total go over in three of its last four revenging a loss vs. an opponent that scored 85 or more points. This number is low, play the "over."
