Tremont will be good as usual I expect naz to do well, kavell and sky to perform their usual. The X factor in this game I believe will be Javonte smart whether he can handle the pressure knock a few shots down and not turn it over.

UK is long on defense. I expect they'll play a lot of zone and make it hard to get in the paint. We'll need to knock down some shots from 3 to loosen up that zone and get some offensive rebounds to get 2nd chance points.

The X factor in this game

Jump shooting, we have got to hit open shots to stay in the game. Can’t afford to fall behind big again.

Keeping our bigs out of early foul trouble, to me, is the ultimate factor. If we lose Bigby early, we are in bad shape.

Emmitt Williams is our most important player tonight, IMO.

We are an extremely aggressive defensive team playing a Kentucky team in Rupp that is top 25 in FTa/FGa. There is a decent chance we have some front court foul trouble. However...if Williams can play strong as the 4 against PJ Washington and we can play Naz at the 5, I think Naz and Tremont can kill Travis out on the perimeter.

The X factor will be the damn refs. If they call an even game and not be set on constantly helping the home team we have a chance. If the refs let them play instead of calling ticky tacky calls then we’ll have a chance.
