Kentucky vs Troy Preview & Picks
Kentucky vs Troy Preview & Picks
Troy are tipped to cover as a double digit underdog as they bow out of March Madness.
Kentucky have been an inconsistent spread bet this season, and once they open up a healthy lead we expect to see the backups enter and allow Troy a shot at a backdoor cover.
- Kentucky are 2-5-0 ATS in their last 7 games
- Troy are 8-1-0 ATS in their previous 9 games
- The Under has cashed in 3 of Kentucky’s 5 games as a double digit favorite
Head To Head
- Kentucky lead the all-time series 1-0
- Kentucky won 70-62 when the two teams last met in November 2017
Kentucky Form
Kentucky go into March Madness looking to rebound from a blowout defeat in the conference tournament.
The Wildcats stumbled multiple times during the final few games of the regular season, going 4-3 in their last seven games.
They wrapped up that part of the campaign on a positive note though, beating Louisiana State 95-64 at home and Missouri 91-83 on the road.
Kentucky then made it three-in-a-row with an 85-84 victory over Oklahoma in the second round of the SEC tournament.
However, the Wildcats’ quest for conference glory was ended in the quarter-finals, as they suffered a 99-70 defeat at the hands of Alabama.
Troy Form
Troy enter the national tournament on a strong run of form, having won each of their previous six games.
The Trojan’s last defeat came on February 20 when they were beaten 72-69 at home by Louisiana.
They bounced back a few days later with an 83-66 win over Coastal Carolina, and then wrapped up the regular season with road wins at Texas State, 74-69, and Southern Mississippi, 70-58.
Troy’s good run continued in the Sun Belt tournament as they advanced to the final by beating Old Dominion 75-59 and James Madison 79-60.
The Trojans were then crowned conference champions as they beat Arkansas State 94-81 in the final.
Verdict
Kentucky are the better team and we do expect them to advance here.
However, this Troy team is full of confidence and have been stacking up covers, so give us the Trojans and the free buckets.
