CBB | Kentucky 69 @ Kansas St. 75 | 03/19 | 6:55 PM UTC
Kentucky -135
LOSS
ANALYSIS: Sunday second-round action from Greensboro, so clearly a pro-UK crowd (again). If you throw out two perplexing losses to Vanderbilt recently, the Cats are starting to play to expectations. National rebounding leader Oscar Tshiebwe was a vacuum on the boards in Round 1 against Providence with 25 rebounds (most by any NCAA Tournament player in a couple of decades) and should dominate the glass again as KSU was last in the Big 12 in rebounding. Kentucky is 22-6 this season when winning the rebounding battle. It absolutely should do that Sunday.
