Kentucky is fun to watch, as its fast-paced attack pushes opposing defenses to the brink of exhaustion. The Wildcats will put on a show tomorrow, exhibiting their three-point shooting proficiency from beginning to end. The Golden Grizzlies don't defend the three-point line well enough to corral UK's shooters and will have their work cut out boxing out the Wildcats. Kentucky needs to advance at least a couple rounds in this NCAA Tournament, as it has failed to live up to expectations recently. I'm betting that will ensure a high-scoring output by UK.

The Cats will push the pace tomorrow, leading to additional possessions for both teams. The Golden Grizzlies will fall behind late in the first half, turning to the three-ball (35.2 3PT%) to attempt to keep up. That could work for stretches of the second half, as Kentucky's defense is sub-par and will be easier to attack if the Wildcats have a comfortable lead.

I'm confident that these factors will result in an over at 162.5 total points scored!
