The Knights are 2-5 this season, their only wins coming over FDU-Fordham (101-52) and Quinnipiac (78-77). The only Power 5 opponent they’ve played is Notre Dame and they lost 91-66.

AP Poll: 6
Coaches Poll: 6
Sagarin Rating: 4
KenPom: 4
The Buckeyes are 7-0, with wins over No. 10 Villanova, Cincinnati, and five crappy teams. They’re now No. 6 in the country in both polls and face No. 7 North Carolina tonight in Chapel Hill (9:30 PM, ESPN). On a neutral court, both Sagarin and KenPom have the Cats taking an L to the Buckeyes (even more reason to come to #BBNVEGAS!).

KenPom: Ohio State 65, Kentucky 63 (45% win probability)
Louisville Cardinals

Coaches Poll: 1
Sagarin Rating: 3

As we are all well aware, the 8-0 Louisville Cardinals are the No. 1 team in the country, their most impressive win coming against No. 4 Michigan at home last night. Blah Blah Blah. Rupp better be loud.
Sagarin Predictor: Louisville 89.52, Kentucky 88.85
KenPom: Kentucky 67, Louisville 66 (51% win probability)
