Kentucky vs Indiana Prediction
Kentucky is going to be favored at home more times than not, but I’m just not impressed by the Wildcats. Every time we’ve seen Kentucky this season against good competition, it’s lost. Kentucky got embarrassed by Louisville in a game it couldn’t rebound or defend. Kentucky had the same issues against Michigan State. Straight bullied on both sides of the ball. Kentucky lost to North Carolina and then got rocked to sleep by Gonzaga. I’m just buying what Kentucky is selling. You have to show me something, baby. Give me Indiana and the free bucket.
