Opening Line for Kentucky vs. Tennessee in the SEC Tournament
The Wildcats did not get an easy double-digit win over Vanderbilt Friday night. Vegas has adjusted, giving Kentucky a favorable opening line for the SEC Tournament semifinal matchup against Tennessee.
Kentucky opens as a 2-point favorite over Tennessee with a total of 139.
Tennessee has won five straight games and ten of its last 11. Their record is not as pristine against the spread. They ended the regular season by not covering in consecutive games. The Wildcats are not so different, winners of three straight and five of the last six, yet have only covered in half of those games.
The regular season meetings between the border rivals were each decided by double digits. The Vols won by 13 at Thompson-Boling Arena, while Kentucky blitzed the Vols by 28 in a shoot out at Rupp Arena. The rubber match in the SEC Tournament Semifinals will certainly produce fireworks. Tip-off is set for approximately 3:30 pm ET on ESPN.
Go Cats. Beat Tennessee.
