Kansas has won the last two meetings, including 79-73 last season as a seven-point underdog. Kentucky had a scare against Vermont in beating the Catamounts by only four as a 12-point favorite on Sunday. The Wildcats are missing the veteran presence that they have enjoyed in previous seasons to help the talented freshmen get acclimated. P.J. Washington led the Wildcats with 17 points and pulled down 10 rebounds against Vermont and Hamidou Diallo added 16 points, but Kentucky won it at the foul line where they made 11 more free throws than the Catamounts. Kansas destroyed Tennessee State 92-56 while shooting 60.0 percent and Devonte' Graham scored 10 points and dished out 10 assists while Legerald Vick scored a team-leading 23 points. The Jayhawks have a blend of veterans and newcomers and have the edge in this matchup. Take Kansas.
