Jeff Goodman of ESPN.com thinks Kansas will defeat Kentucky when the two teams meet in January.
Goodman gives Kentucky plenty of credit but ultimately believes historic Allen Fieldhouse will be the difference in the game.
Here’s an excerpt on why Goodman thinks Kansas will knock off the Wildcats:
Bill Self’s record at Allen Fieldhouse is a ridiculous 190-9, so the numbers certainly tilt heavily in favor of Kansas in this one. While most of the 190 victories didn’t come against teams the caliber of Kentucky, I’m still going with Kansas. Allen Fieldhouse is as hostile a venue (Kansas and Duke are 1A and 1B) as any in the country.
