Kansas at Kentucky Total Pick 1/28/23

It's been all about defense for the Wildcats. After a wake-up call with back-to-back losses to Alabama and South Carolina, UK has gone on a four-game streak that started with a confidence-building 63-56 road win over the Vols. They've kept three of their last four opponents to 67 or fewer points. The team that surpassed that number was Georgia, who capitalized on the swollen heads of Kentucky (game after the shocking win over Ten), scoring 42 points in the first half before being held to 29 in the second half. The Jayhawks can play defense (39.4 FG % on the road), but they've been having issues with fouls committing 20.3 over the losing streak. They should get that cleaned up today. I'm forecasting a 70-65 type game.
