Louisville Kentucky Line at Wildcats -8.5
The Louisville Kentucky line had the Wildcats as an -8.5 point favorite for this Final Four game next Saturday March 31 with all odds available from BetDSI.com, which was offering up to $500 in FREE CASH when you open an online betting account today (restrictions do apply).
Kentucky managed to cover yet another game after suffering through a season where their Against The Spread record was just 15-21. Not that it matters much as the Wildcats have only lost two games the entire season Straight Up and entered the Tournament as the overall number one seed. They beat Baylor 82-70 to make the Final Four for the second straight year.
Anthony Davis blocked six shots against Baylor with five of the six occurring in the paint. Kentucky limited Baylor to 7-24 (29.2 percent) shooting in the half court during the first half Sunday. Kentucky outscored Baylor 17-5 in transition during its Elite Eight win over the Bears. The Wildcats scored 11 of the 17 transition points in the first half as they built a 20-point halftime lead.
"It's kind of hard to play us," Davis said after the game. "We're very long and very athletic. It makes it tough on the other team."
Kentucky will take on the lowest seed to make the Final Four, number 4 seeded Louisville.
They beat Florida in a more dramatic fashion, coming back from a double digit deficit and winning 72-68. After trailing by 11 with 8:16 left, Louisville finished the game on a 18-3 run.
Louisville reaches its ninth Final Four, the second under head coach Rick Pitino.
