Two teams with strong postseason aspirations collide Saturday night when Kentucky visits West Virginia at 7 p.m.
In this huge college hoops showdown that features two promising teams jockeying for NCAA Tournament positioning, you need to see what SportsLine analyst Josh Nagel has to say.
Nagel knows the seventh-ranked Mountaineers are 16-4 overall, but have lost three of their past four games, including a nine-point defeat on the road against TCU earlier this week.
And Kentucky has won four of its past five games against the Mountaineers, including a 39-point victory in their Sweet 16 matchup in the 2015 NCAA Tournament.
But just because Kentucky has had success against West Virginia doesn't mean it will be able to go on the road and stay within the eight-point spread against a team ranked in the top 10 nationally.
