Kentucky at Louisville

Kentucky and Louisville battle in Wednesday's marquee matchup as both teams are 10-1 while the Wildcats are 8-3 ATS and the Cardinals are 7-2 ATS. Louisville looks to avenge last year's close 75-73 loss and its only loss this season was 66-63 against Baylor on a neutral court on Nov. 25. Louisville has balanced scoring with Donovan Mitchell the leading the team with just an 11.7 scoring average followed by Quentin Snider (11.0 points per game). Four other players average between 7.3 and 9.7 points. Louisville's defense holds opponents to just 35.9 percent shooting so far this season. Kentucky showed some vulnerabilities in its 97-92 loss to UCLA at home on Dec. 3. The Bruins lit up the scoreboard while shooting 53.0 percent in that contest. The Wildcats are coming off a tough emotional win over North Carolina in Las Vegas on Saturday when Malik Monk exploded for 47 points and his team shot 54.1 percent from the floor. Look for the Wildcats to cool off in this matchup, so play Louisville on the moneyline.
