Florida is playing at home and looks to defend its court as a -11.5 favorite on the spread. The over/under is 152.5 and the moneyline is Florida -750 and Kentucky +525.
The game can go either way, with Kentucky playing great basketball right now. Wildcats will have a hard time getting the outright win, but they should at least cover the spread. Our pick is Kentucky +11.5 on the spread.
