American is the most experienced team of all teams that made it to the Big Dance. With 13 straight wins and 19 wins in last 20 games they are also one of the hottest teams that made it here. Last year they kept it close against Tennessee and this team is much more experienced this season and they are playing better defense than last year. My play is American +17.
W.Kentucky is 13-0 ATS in last 13 games played in march or last week of february. This team lost some experience from last year's squad but they are stil very talented. This season they beat Louisville on neutral court by 14 points scoring 68 against the 2nd best defense in the nation. Illini without their best defender in this game. My play is Western Kentucky +5.
