T.M. Selection: Kentucky/LSU OVER.

I am on the over in the Kentucky vs LSU game on Tuesday. Kentucky has looked great in their games lately and they have been putting up a lot of points in their games too. Kentucky has put up 80+ points in 4 games in a row now and they have put up 90+ points in 3 of those games. Their defense has been great this year too, they have only given up 70+ points in 1 game this year and that game was against Duke, another ranked team. That was really the only ranked team they have faced this year and now they take on a ranked LSU team that only has 1 loss all year. I think that Kentucky is going to struggle to play defense as well as they have been playing all year and I expect LSU to put up some points in this game just like Kentucky. LSU has also had some high scoring games lately, putting up 85+ points in 2 of their previous 4 games. They just lost their most recent game to Auburn, another ranked team, and they gave up 70 points in that game while only putting up 55 points themselves. That was their 1st road game of the year and I expect them to play much better on their home court in this game. I think LSU is going to be upset about that loss since it was their 1st loss of the season and I'm expecting a much better effort on offense in this game as they try to bounce back. I think this is going to be a close game that is high scoring since both of these teams have a good offense and like to shoot a lot. I like the over in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 80-78 LSU.
