Bellarmine vs Kentucky Prediction, Odds & Picks Nov 29
Is Kentucky the Real Deal?
Preseason rankings, as they often are, haven’t meant much so far. The Kentucky Wildcats look to keep their top 20 ranking when they face the Bellarmine Knights on Tuesday.
NCAAB odds have the Wildcats are huge favorites, but after two losses from their last four games, the jury is out on this team.
Let’s check the latest college basketball odds, stats, injury reports, and college basketball lines for Bellarmine vs Kentucky. We’ve plenty of NCAA basketball odds for you to consider.
Knights Struggling Against Top-Tier Foes
The Knights looked good when beating Campbellsville-Harrodsburg 86-46, but reality set in against the better teams.
They lost 76-66 to Clemson, which was a solid effort in defeat, but heavy losses to Duke, Loyola Marymount and UCLA doesn’t bode well against a team like Kentucky.
They are struggling mightily on offense, scoring just 64.3 points per game, which doesn’t bode well against Kentucky’s 87.2 ppg.
However, they are 4-2 against the spread after covering +23 against UCLA. It was a close-run thing but bettors were happy, and they also covered big numbers against Clemson and Duke, respectively.
With six of their last seven games coming on the road, it hasn’t been easy for the Knights. However, if they can produce a solid performance against the Wildcats, they’ll earn respect, and covering the sportsbook spread goes a long way to earning the attention of bettors.
Wildcats Needing Statement Wins
Beating Bellarmine wouldn’t be a statement win, but if the Wildcats can put up a big number, that would send a message to their SEC rivals.
They are 4-2 overall and ATS, so bettors have enjoyed backing them. However, Kentucky was poor when losing to Gonzaga and Michigan State. The Wildcats failed to cover the -7 spread against the Spartans, losing 86-77 in overtime, before losing to the Zags as a +4 underdog.
They rebounded with a dominant 96-56 win over North Florida while covering -27½, which is in the region of the line against Bellarmine.
Betting online markets always give Kentucky the ultimate respect, and it’s good to see Jacob Toppin playing well.
“As the season goes along, I’m getting more confident,” Toppin told ESPN. “That’s because of my teammates. I’m not worried about scoring right now, I’m more worried about defense and rebounding and the offense will come. I knew (my offense) would come.“
We expect more from Oscar Tshiebwe, who recorded his second double-double of the season. He hasn’t quite lived up to expectations, especially when getting into foul trouble, but he’s classy and he could have a field day in the paint against the Knights.

Bellarmine vs Kentucky Picks & Prediction
Kentucky should use this game to flex its muscles and put up a big score. We like the Wildcats to win by 40+ and they shouldn’t be tested by the Knights.
We also like the over to hit, mostly because the Wildcats could score over 100 points.
