An excellent game is on tap Saturday evening featuring Kansas vs. Kentucky. The Wildcats are a -6.5 overnight favorite.
Kansas is ranked 9 in the nation while Kentucky is ranked 8. Both teams have only three losses on the season.
Dedric Lawson had 29 points and 15 rebounds, Devon Dotson hit the clinching free throws with 5.9 seconds left and ninth-ranked Kansas held on to beat No. 24 Iowa State 80-76 on Monday night.
The Wildcats won their fifth consecutive game Tuesday and seem to be heading in the right direction at just the right time.
Since 2011, the home team has won five of the six in this series. Kansas has won the last three versus Kentucky, including one away game. The Favorite is 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings.
This marks the fifth consecutive season -- and seventh time in the past eight seasons -- in which the basketball bluebloods have met. Self and Wildcats coach John Calipari are 4-4 in head-to-head matchups.
Four Kentucky starters average double-figure points, paced by freshman guard Keldon Johnson (14.6). Sophomore forward PJ Washington is coming off his first 20-point performance in SEC play, netting 21 in a 76-55 rout of Mississippi State on Tuesday.
