We do believe Kentucky will win this game outright, we don't believe it will come easy and feel this is way too many points to be laying to a quality Notre Dame squad. Irish won a very tough ACC Tournament, including wins against Virginia and North Carolina at the end, and while they struggled a bit in their games last weekend, they had no problems beating an underrated Wichita State team on Thursday.

Kentucky was also lackluster last weekend before absolutely demolishing West Virginia on Thursday by 39. Notre Dame is far superior than WVU in both shooting offense and defense, they also have height with their interior players and should be able to stay man-to-man and make Kentucky beat them one-on-one. That doesn't allow the Wildcats as many open shots and far less open three-point attempts. Kentucky wins but by less than 10 points.
