Kentucky is fully rested but Vandy has momentum, as well as the knowledge that it can play with the Wildcats. Kentucky won the regular-season meetings by seven and 12 points. With Scotty Pippen Jr. leading the way, the Commodores enter on an 11-1 ATS tear, including cashing eight straight times as underdogs. They play tenacious defense (39th nationally per KenPom). Look for them to be competitive yet again.

These two teams played close games this season, with Kentucky winning each but Vanderbilt playing extremely well in the last meeting to cover +14.5 in a 77-70 loss. UK has one of the best defenses in the nation and is No. 1 in rebound margin. Vandy has momentum from its big win against Alabama on Thursday and it has been efficient covering this season (20-12 ATS). Take the points.
