I'm sure there will be a select few that will have something negative to say.

Rob Dillingham is probably the best player in the country in my opinion, and I really think Cook takes the challenge and comes to play tonight. He's way past due.

Cook is a game-time decision. Heer is what McMahon said yesterday.

Then, Cook has a leg injury that cost him the Tennessee game and the game against South Carolina, so we’ll see how he is at practice today, and how he responds will determine his status. Wish I had a more definitive answer for you, but we’ll have to see how he feels tomorrow heading into the game.

This will be a very tough game for the Tigers. Despite being ranked #17, this is a worse matchup for LSU than their past game vs. #11 South Carolina. The advanced analytics showed that the game at SC was very winnable. They tell a different story for tonight. UK can score with the best of them, and don't be surprised if they run LSU out of the gym.
I was on record here saying USCe was a winnable road game for us and happy we pulled it out.

This is a tough game for us, but I'm not as pessimistic of our chances as others. On a neutral court UK is likely an 8.5-9 point or so favorite. They are getting a -6.5 on the road here. That's probably more UK fans betting on their team, but really this line should be UK -5 or so.

The analytic difference between the teams is offense efficiency. Both are middling defensive teams.

I mean we could get run out of the gym, but I think it's going to be a lot closer.

The games where LSU was run out of the gym were all a tale of two halves. If LSU plays 2 solid halves of basketball, they may lose but it shouldn't be a blowout. LSU definitely can win this game.

Agree 100%

A lot of games have been that tale of two halves. There is no reason we need to get down 20 points and then put it into gear.

Yep. That's the consistency thing I always mention. Even those close games we dropped were similar. Long periods of seemingly losing any game plan or being lethargic then either kicking it back in but falling short or being unable to stop the other team from making the winning shot and losing by 2-5 points.

Wright has seemed to be in a funk for a while. Seemed to be less so in the South Carolina game though.

Hoping it all comes together tonight and pushes on through the rest of the season.

Oh dang it now.

We’ll be there as always.
Tough matchup for us tonight, but it’s possible to win! (Kentucky has 5 players that feature currently in most NBA mock drafts. And we …………don’).

Any word on Cook? Minutes restriction? Or full go?

for sure! But I even think there will be reason for optimism if it’s a competitive game at this point.
