The last time these two teams faced off was back in 2014, making this a long-overdue rematch. Texas comes into this game in a tough spot, having struggled to contain high-powered offenses within the conference. Most recently, the Longhorns allowed No. 2 Alabama to put up an eye-popping 103 points against them, exposing major defensive weaknesses. Unfortunately for Texas, they now have to contend with another elite scoring team, as Kentucky ranks second in the SEC in points per game.

One of the biggest concerns for Texas will be rebounding, as Kentucky has the clear advantage on the boards and brings a more physical style of play. The Wildcats will likely look to impose their will early, controlling the tempo and making it difficult for the Longhorns to establish any defensive presence. However, Kentucky’s defense has its own issues, which means this could turn into a back-and-forth, high-scoring affair.

Texas should be able to keep things competitive on their home floor, especially with their ability to score in transition. But given their recent struggles on the defensive end, it will be tough for them to slow down Kentucky’s offense for a full 40 minutes. While it should be an exciting game, the Longhorns’ woes are likely to continue, and they could find themselves adding another loss to their record. Take Kentucky ATS
