If Kentucky plays with energy, like tonight, we win. I like the this matchup. I think Johnson will be a key matchup for us. Look for Toppin to stick him like glue. He has 3/4 inches on him.
I’m glad we have the chance to discuss a possible win!

1. Ksu is small. So we should crush them kn boards and we usually rebound even in bad games
2. But Ksu is quick and will space you out which we don’t defend that too well most games. But Toppin and Livingston march up well on Johnston And Wallace on Nowell is also our defensive strength
3. Got to take care of ball as they ratchet up the pressure. Toppin being a second ball handler is huge

I like the matchup for Ky to be honest. But can’t have a bad shooting night for Reeves is all that concerns me for UK. We have so few scores we have to stay hot with those guys

They struggle to score. This is one of the worse 3 seeded teams in awhile. Be careful they turn you over. It's the only way I see them winning. They play hard, very small which will be to our liking. Force them into the paint to shot over Toppin, Oscsr, force the ball to the right side when they drive. Swich off 18 feet out.
They struggle to score but they're 85th nationally in ppg. We're 95th. So there's that.

Can we win, absolutely. Will we win, depends which team shows up.
If Reeves is on, we have a decent chance. If he's off we won't have enough offense to win. It seems like every year we're down to one healthy guard and he's the only consistent shooter we have. I wish Cal could learn from past mistakes and fill all of his scholarships for once.

We know it's going to be a hard game, we also know they are going to get some points from somebody we've never heard of. They have beaten Kansas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas and West Virginia, plus LSU and Florida, so we will have to play well and have more scoring from Livingston and CJ if we are to win this game. Last time we lost to them because we couldn't hit free throws, maybe getting the first game out of the way will help our offense.

Their first year coach Jerome Tang was a long time assistant at Baylor. They beat Baylor twice, beat KU & TX once. They way overachieved from their preseason predictions. They play hard and scrappy on defense but we are more talented overall and should win if we play the way we should. Need Oscar to dominate the boards and Reeves, Wallace and Toppin at top of their game

We need to force feed the ball down low to Oscar and Toppin. Then if they get doubled-
Kick it out for 3
STOP taking long, contested 2’s!!
