Kentucky opens as a heavy favorite vs. Lipscomb
Kentucky returns to Rupp Arena tomorrow night to tip off the BBN Invitational vs. Lipscomb (7 p.m. ET, SEC Network+). After last week's big win over Duke, the Cats are No. 9 in the AP Poll (fitting) and oddsmakers expect them to cruise to their fourth victory of the season.
On FanDuel , Kentucky opened as a 20.5-point favorite vs. Lipscomb, which is 2-3 on the season. The total is set at 158.5 points. The Bison have wins over Duquesne and Wofford and losses to Arkansas, Belmont, and Western Kentucky. The 66-61 loss to the Hilltoppers was the first game in the BBN Invitational, a multi-team event featuring Kentucky, Lipscomb, Western Kentucky, and Jackson State.
Kentucky is 2-0-1 against the spread this season, covering against Duke (+5.5) and Wright State (-21.5) and pushing against Bucknell (-28). The Cats went over the point total in the first two games (161, 154.5), but under against the Blue Devils (159.5). Team totals have yet to be released, but Kentucky covering theirs has been a pretty safe bet this season.
