With 18 of the Top 25 teams in action on Saturday, there’s wall-to-wall basketball to have on while watching some NFL games on that smaller screen in the living room.
No. 22 Tennessee takes on No. 18 Kentucky and Oscar Tshiebwe, one of the best players in America and a double-double machine in Lexington. The Vols have really struggled away from home this season, while Kentucky hopes to get diminutive point guard Savhir Wheeler back on the floor.
Also in the SEC No. 24 Alabama is ranked, but the home team in Mississippi State and Iverson Molinar is favored. Molinar had a season-high 28 points and seven assists in an 88-72 win over Georgia on Wednesday. Bama has lost two in a row to Missouri and Auburn, and at 11-5 and 2-2 in the SEC, they need to start finding some wins before the NCAA bubble becomes an issue.
Here are the opening odds for NCAA Men’s Basketball on Saturday, January 15th from DraftKings Sportsbook.
