Stephen Nover Free CBB Tuesday Play
(NCAAB) Kentucky vs. Vanderbilt, 01/11/2022 7:00 PM, Score: 78 - 66
Point Spread: 8.50 | -110.00 Vanderbilt (Home)
Result: Loss
Kentucky is 11-0 at Rupp Arena. But this game is being played in Vanderbilt's Memorial Gym.

Even though Vanderbilt students won't be allowed to attend because of COVID-19 concerns, Kentucky can't be trusted on the road.

The Wildcats have played just two true road contests - and they are 0-2 SU and ATS with a 66-62 loss to Notre Dame and a 65-60 loss to LSU.

I don't see Kentucky being super intense here in a sterile atmosphere coming off a blowout home win against Georgia this past Saturday and with a look-ahead matchup up next against 22nd-ranked Tennessee.

The Commodores can be stingy on defense. They are holding foes to 62.4 points a game, which ranks 42nd in the country.

Vanderbilt had won and covered four in a row until getting upset by South Carolina at home in its last game three days ago. The Commodores have covered 77 percent of the past 17 times they've been an underdog.
