Best Bet of the Day
NCAAB: Arkansas Razorbacks -4.5 over Kentucky Wildcats
2:00 pm ET, CBS
The Kentucky Wildcats have completely got itself off the bubble and has surged into the top 25. They looked like one of the best teams in the country after their 30-point win against Auburn last Saturday, but followed that with a home loss to Vanderbilt. They are so inconsistent, and hard to trust in a road environment such as Bud Walton Arena. The Razorbacks have dealt with injuries all season, but now have potential lottery pick and second-leading scorer Nick Smith Jr. back, and he makes this team significantly better. These teams met on February 7 and Arkansas blew out Kentucky 88-73. Read our full Kentucky vs Arkansas predictions.
