Good morning. Kentucky plays basketball tonight. The Wildcats will be hosting the Bulldogs of South Carolina State at 7 pm EST. You can watch all of the action from Rupp Arena on the SEC Network. If you would also like to get a little action on the game, let me tell you what Vegas thinks will happen.

Kentucky opened as a 38.5-point spread and the line has already moved up to UK -39.5. For folks who prefer taking overs and unders, the total is 145.5. Each team has hit the over in two of their three games. South Carolina State is 0-3, but they did cover a 25.5-point spread in a 80-77 season-opening loss to the South Carolina Gamecocks.

South Carolina State is one of the worst teams in Division I basketball. KenPom ranks the Bulldogs No. 347 out of 363 teams. The adjusted efficiency stats give the Wildcats a 99.95% chance to win, predicting a 90-54 final score.

Tonight will likely be a lopsided affair. Enjoy it, and remember, always wager responsibly.

Go Cats. Beat the Bulldogs.
