It has been a pretty sad state of affairs when a No. 9 seed faces a No. 1 seed in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, as they come in to this game with an overall mark of just 3-51 straight up since 1985. Kentucky scored 100 in their first game, showing that freshmen Wall and Cousins are not intimidated by the atmosphere, and in fact embrace it. That spells trouble for a Wake Forest squad that lost five of six down the stretch and needed an overtime miracle vs. another struggling team in Texas that started the season 18-0 but finished at 7-10. The Demon Deacons are not tournament darlings at 1-9 ATS in their last 10 in the dance. The Wildcats get the money here and advance.
