Wofford vs Kentucky 3/23/19 - College Basketball Picks & Predictions

The Wofford Terriers visit Vystar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida on Saturday to play the Kentucky Wildcats in an NCAA Tournament Midwest Region second round matchup. The No. 7 seeded Terriers defeated the Seton Hall Pirates on Thursday 84-68 in their first round matchup. Fletcher Magee led Wofford with 24 points.

PJ Washington is the leading scorer for Kentucky with an average of 14.8 points. Three other Wildcats are averaging double figures in scoring. Ashton Hagans leads the Wildcats in assists with an average of 4.5 per game. Washington is leading the Wildcats in rebounds with an average of 7.5 per game. Kentucky is shooting 47.8% from the field and 36.4% from 3-point territory.

Kentucky has the more talented squad, but will struggle to cover the number with leading scorer PJ Washington likely sitting out due to a left foot injury. The Wildcats have failed to cover 5 of the last 7, while Wofford has covered the number in each of the last 8. Look for Keldon Johnson, Tyler Herro and Ashton Hagans to carry the Wildcats to a straight up win in Washington’s absence. Final Score Prediction, Kentucky Wildcats win and cover ATS 73-65.
