It is a matchup of top teams on Saturday, as the No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide visit the No. 8 Kentucky Wildcats on ESPN. The Crimson Tide were obviously looking ahead to this game, as they were shocked at home on Tuesday night, losing by 10 points to Ole Miss. Kentucky, on the other hand, took care of business, as they routed Texas A&M on Tuesday. The Wildcats should be listed as a small home favorite in this contest with a total that is going to be one of the highest we have ever seen. The Crimson Tide lead the country in points per game, while Kentucky is third in points per game, and these teams played a very high scoring game a year ago at Rupp that Kentucky won by a score of 117-95.

Alabama at Kentucky NCAA Basketball Odds
Alabama is 14-3 SU and 9-8 ATS with seven games going over the total, nine going under, with one push. The Crimson Tide are coming off a pathetic effort on Tuesday night as they were beaten 74-64 by Mississippi. The Wildcats have almost identical numbers to Alabama, as Kentucky is 14-3 SU and 9-7-1 ATS with nine games going over the total and eight going under.
Alabama Crimson Tide
The Tide are averaging just over 89 points per game which ranks 1st in the nation. They don’t play much defense, as they are giving up 77.3 points per game which is one of the worst marks in the country. Mark Sears leads the team in scoring with 18.6 points per game and in assists with 4.5 per contest, while Grant Nelson leads the team in rebounding with 8.6 per game.
Alabama head coach Nate Oats said he was very unhappy with his team’s performance on Tuesday. “It’s disgusting, to be honest with you,” Oats said to the media, “With the amount of fifth-year seniors and the leadership that should be showing on this team — to have guys not come ready to play — it starts with me because I’m supposed to be the one motivating these guys and I obviously didn’t motivate them very well to make sure they’re ready.”
Kentucky Wildcats
The Wildcats are averaging almost 89 points per game which is 3rd in the country. They have been a little better than the Tide on defense, but not by much, as Kentucky is giving up 74.6 points per contest. Otega Oweh leads the team in scoring at 15.4 points per game, Lamont Butler leads the team in assists with 4.7 per contest, while Amari Williams leads the team with 8.6 rebounds per contest.
Alabama at Kentucky Series
Kentucky has won six of the last 10 in this series and they are 5-5 ATS with five games going over the total and five going under. As noted earlier, the Wildcats rolled to a 117-95 win at home last season. It has been ugly for Alabama on the road in this series, as they have lost 9 of the last 10 but they are 6-4 ATS and they did break a long losing streak at Rupp by winning 85-65 four years ago. Six of the last 10 meetings at Kentucky have gone over the total.
Alabama at Kentucky Same Game Parlay Picks
Alabama and Kentucky are two of the best teams in the country and right now with Auburn missing their leading scorer, they are both better than the Tigers. This is going to be a classic and I think any points are worth taking and there is no doubt Kentucky will be favored at home. I’ll take the Crimson Tide plus the points and despite what should be a high total, there is only one way to go and that is to take the over. It’s Alabama and over for the same game parlay.
