You would think the #1 team in the country would be at least favored by double digits on their home court vs. a Patriot League opponent.

Well, it looks like Vegas thinks this one could be a little closer than that.

VegasInsider.com has Kentucky favored by 7 points to beat the Terriers Tuesday night at 9pm eastern on the SEC Network.

Do you think this is a little low?

Take a look at Boston University’s results so far:

Albany W 69-64
at NJIT L 90-76
at South Florida W 78-66

That is really a shocker but you can bet Vegas doesn't miss many so it looks like this may be a very good game tonight. Go Cats!

That has got to be a misprint. Heck, Kentucky would be favored by that many over just about the entire top-10 in the country with the game being at Rupp.

I would probably bet my mortgage they cover 7 points.

EDIT: Yahoo shows them as favored by 24.5

Las Vegas insider had the spread at 24.5 as of noon today, can't believe it has changed that much since then. I just checked Las Vegas insider and the spread there is still 24.5. as of 7:20 pm.
