All In.

Kentucky fan here, but I’ll throw in my 2 cents.
Kentucky hasn’t played a true road game yet. They’ve played all cupcakes outside of Duke. They beat a young Duke team on a neutral site game that they easily could have lost if Duke made some open shots.
Clemson’s pace of play ranks one of the slowest in the p5. It’s easier to slow teams down than speed them up. They have a good, experienced starting 5 that presents some mismatches for Kentucky on the defensive end.
It makes plenty of sense to take Clemson and the points in a toss up game on the road for Kentucky. I think Kentucky presents some challenges for Clemson on the three point line. Clemson ranks #189 at 3 pt defense and they’ve played a so so schedule as well. If Kentucky shoots well, which their roster is built for, I think Kentucky wins… However, Kentucky has been a little up and down as a team the last 2 games shooting closer to 28% from 3. They will need to shoot closer to 35%+ today to get it done. Even if they do, I think Clemson will be able to score on them.
Clemson feels like the “safer” play, but I’m not making a pick on this one. Very tough one to cap. I think this one is somewhat comparable to the Arizona and Clemson NCAA tournament game last year where Clemson won 77-72.
