Would be a great game to win. Kentucky is currently a 10 pt favorite.
I like the Tigers in this one based of my little knowledge of our basketball team (have watched two games).
In front of national audience. Tigers will/should be ranked after a win and would be a 2-0 start of SEC play. This team plays good basketball much different the. How last years team played and won from what little I have seen. We have some very athletic players. Let’s Geaux tigers!!

UK has been playing like shite recently. Lost to Mizzou in COMO. Beat the stuffing out of a pretty bad Louisville team last game. Cal just cant find a consistent starting 5

This is just in an effort to avoid confusion but the game us at 8:00 eastern 7:00 pm central time.

Usually weekday conference games are either at 6 or 8 but this one is at 7.

10+ pts is way too much. Take the points and sprinkle some on the ML

McMahon is an infinitely better in game coach compared to Cal

10 seems like too much

LSU is ranked 26th. New polls came out during the football game but it would have been hard to break that news on the Score Board during a football game.

Ah. Then you were definitely the person to make this thread.

Gotta love good old fashioned narcissism

This team plays good basketball much different the. How last years team played


When is this narrative going to stop? This years team is ranked lower on KenPom than any of Will Wade’s team. Last years team finished 21st and currently at 75th.

Looking at the game, I would expect us to play Kentucky similar to Arkansas. Kentucky has struggled to shoot the ball and are without their top shooter CJ Fredrick. I wouldn’t be surprised to see McMahon come out in zone but the only worry with that is keeping Tshiebwe off the glass

Here is Kentucky Sports Radio's breakdown of the Tigers. KSR does a good job scouting opponents. I think a few Tiger fans might appreciate the how challenging LSU is to play, from an opponent's perspective.

Similar to the Arky game think LSU will want to keep this game low scoring in the 60s, so hopefully they bring that same kind of defensive intensity that they did. They really did fight like dogs in that game.

The difference in holding UK to 60ish is keep them from just beating you on the offensive glass(Tshiebwe), while as to hold arkansas you don't turn the ball over. If LSU can hold there own on the glass I can see us staying in it till the end.

Other hope is we hit some 3s, we have been a decent 3 point shooting team but we could really be a threat if we can get miller back going to how he started the year.

This should be a real challenge for the Tigers....more players must score the basketball!

We will need to keep it in the 50/60s to have a chance.
