Analysis
Santa Clara is coming into this game with a 26-8 record this season and they are 15-3 in their conference. They are coming off of a 79-68 loss against Gonzaga in their last game, but they have won 3 of their last 4 games and they are going to be hungry to bounce back. They have been one of the better teams in their conference all season as well. They are going up against a Kentucky team that is 21-13 this season and they are 10-8 in their conference. They are coming off of a 71-63 loss against Florida in their last game and they have not been playing well recently as they have lost 3 of their last 5 games and have 6 losses in their last 10 games as well. Their defense has been awful in their recent games, not playing great all season either, and they struggled a lot in the non-conference as well. Kentucky has the quality in their lineup, but the pieces have not been fitting well together all year and that is going to be the difference in this game against a team like Santa Clara that has the shooters and has been good on defense. Santa Clara will cover the spread in this game.
