Jason Marcum has covered the University of Kentucky for A Sea Of Blue since 2015 and the Cincinnati Bengals for Cincy Jungle since 2014.
After defeating Texas A&M and Mississippi State to place in the top 25, the Kentucky Wildcats are feeling very good. They will now play host to a top-five Alabama team that just won the program’s first Final Four and is vying for another trip there, making it one of their toughest challenges of the 2024–25 college basketball season.
Ironically, Kentucky and Alabama are tied for the sixth-best odds to advance to the Final Four and win the entire tournament, according to FanDuel.
