Kentucky will enter Thursday’s SEC Tournament game as the betting favorite.

According to FanDuel, the Wildcats opened as a 6.5-point favorite to beat the Oklahoma Sooners. The over/under has been set at 158.5. In Wednesday’s opening round matchup, 14-seed Oklahoma upset 11-seed Georgia, 81-75, to make it to the second-round. Kentucky enters as the 6-seed.

Looking at the computer projections, KenPom is calling for an 85-80 Kentucky win while BartTorvik believes UK will win 86-79.

These two teams have already met this season once before. Kentucky went on the road to sneak out a huge 83-82 victory over Oklahoma back on Feb. 26. Otega Oweh, who spent his first two seasons with the Sooners, finished with 28 points in that game, 18 of them coming consecutively to close the game. Oweh hit the go-ahead game-winner with under 10 seconds left and also recorded the game-saving block right before the buzzer.

Tipoff between UK and OU on Thursday night in Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena is set for 9:30 p.m. EST on the SEC Network.
