These teams met twice last season and Kentucky won a revenge match 86-75 in the NCAA Tournament and it went UNDER by six points. The Wildcats have a new set of players, as usual, but still playing good defense allowing opponents a .420 shooting percentage and 69.2 points per game. UCLA has had a troublesome season at times but defensively is allowing 42.0 percent shooting. However, the Bruins have struggled offensively against tougher competition scoring only 69 points in an overtime loss at Michigan and 63 in a 14-point loss at home against Cincinnati. The game is part of the CBS Sports Classic in New Orleans and Kentucky has stayed UNDER six of its last seven neutral site games and UCLA is 4-1 UNDER its last five at neutral locations. Take the UNDER.
