LSU Tigers vs Kentucky Wildcats Predictions 1/3/2023

The Kentucky Wildcats recorded a victory once more. After suffering a shocking away defeat to Missouri in their SEC debut last week, they bounced back with a dominating home victory against a faltering Louisville team on Saturday, a game that the UK had a 23-point advantage.

Kentucky suffered defeats against UCLA, Gonzaga, and Michigan State. Their biggest win this month came against Michigan. In seven successive matches, the Wildcats failed to beat the spread.

The defeat to Missouri earlier this week caused the Wildcats, who are ranked 14th in Division I by Ken Pomeroy, to fall out of the AP Top 25 this week. In the SEC, Kentucky is thought to be the favorite.

The Wildcats are averaging 79 points per game, which places them 47th overall, and scored more than 80 points in two of their previous 3 matches. The defense is good; they only allow opponents to score 66.2 points, which ranks 113rd.

The Kentucky Wildcats are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 matches.
The Wildcats are 6-2 SU in their last 8 matches.
The total went UNDER in 4 of Kentucky’s last 6 games with LSU.

LSU Tigers vs #19 Kentucky Wildcats. The NCAAB pick for this game is the #19 Kentucky Wildcats. The schedule for the LSU Tigers was rather light.

According to Ken Pomeroy’s ratings, which inflated some of their figures, they are ranked 327th in “strength of schedule.” This year, LSU is yet to travel to play a game.

Kentucky is unbeaten at home and won six of its previous eight games. Furthermore, when it regards scoring, LSU isn’t comparable to Kentucky.

LSU is 103rd in modified offensive efficiency with a point average of 105.6 per 100 possessions, while Kentucky averages 113.2.

LSU relies more on its defense, and once more, Kentucky’s modified efficiency metrics are higher. Oscar Tshiebwe, who has 33 boards in his past two matches, should be able to control the boards because Kentucky has the stronger rebounding team.

Kentucky won every game by double digits, but one. The #19 Kentucky Wildcats will win to a predicted score of 74-63.
