Ohio State vs Kentucky
(NCAAB) Buckeyes (OSU) vs. Wildcats (UK),
Point Spread: -7.50 | -110.00 Wildcats (UK) (Home)
Result: Loss
Already having taken some real lumps this season, Ohio State looks at risk once again in New York City later today. Jake Diebler's Buckeyes just took it on the chin from another high-ranked SEC foe (Auburn) at another neutral venue (Atlanta) last Saturday when getting clocked 91-53. Smallish OSU was overwhelmed 49-28 off of the glass and could not keep pace, much as another recent game at Maryland when falling behind 50-17 at halftime en route to another lopsided loss. Meanwhile, Mark Pope is leading a Kentucky renaissance as the Cats have been beating teams like Duke, Gonzaga and Louisville while scoring better than 91 pg and with six DD scorers. Note San Diego State transfer G Lamont Butler scored a big 33 in last Saturday's win over the 'Ville. Play Kentucky (at Madison Square Garden)
