Who's Playing

North Florida @ No. 10 Kentucky

Current Records: North Florida 1-5; Kentucky 4-1

What to Know

The #10 Kentucky Wildcats' homestand continues as they prepare to take on the North Florida Ospreys at 7 p.m. ET Nov. 26 at Rupp Arena at Central Bank Center. These two teams are sauntering into the matchup backed by comfortable wins in their prior games.

The Wildcats have more to be thankful for after their contest against the Albany Great Danes on Monday. UK was the clear victor by an 86-61 margin over Albany. Guard Tyty Washington Jr. (13 points) was the top scorer for UK.

Meanwhile, everything came up roses for North Florida at home against the Webber International Warriors on Saturday as the squad secured a 103-43 victory.

UK is the favorite in this one, with an expected 24-point margin of victory. Those burned by picking them against the spread on Monday might want to keep in mind that the team has not yet dropped back-to-back games against the spread this season.

The wins brought the Wildcats up to 4-1 and the Ospreys to 1-5. A couple numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: UK is 25th worst in college basketball in takeaways, with only 10.8 on average. North Florida has experienced some struggles of their own as they are stumbling into the matchup with the 44th most turnovers per game in college basketball, having accrued 15.8 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
