Vegas oddsmakers have listed Kentucky a -4 point favorite versus West Virginia in Saturday’s NCAA Tournament East Regional Final. The total is set at 133. #1 seeded Kentucky(35-2) will be looking to reach the Final Four for the 1st time since it’s national championship in 1998. One of College Basketball’s most tradition rich programs, Kentucky has had a magical turnaround this season under the guidance of new head coach John Calipari and the sensational play of freshman point guard John Wall. The sense of urgency in the Bluegrass state is rampant, as many know this NCAA Tournament run could very well be the only one with Wall on the court. Wall, who averages 16.6 ppg and 6.6 assists, is projected as the #1 pick in the upcoming NBA Draft if he declares for the draft. #2 seed West Virginia(30-6) will be looking to ruin Kentucky’s season, while head coach Bob Huggins looks to become just the 12th coach in NCAA history to lead two programs to the Final Four. Huggins, a West Virginia alum, hasn’t reached the Final Four since 1992 when he was able to guide Cincinnati to the Final Four.
