UK can score with the best of them, and don't be surprised if they run LSU out of the gym.


I'd be a little surprised. Outside of the 4 games vs. Alabama (2x), Tennessee and Auburn, LSU has at least been competitive. And 3 of those 4 games were on the road. I guess the question is "is Kentucky on par with Tennessee, Alabama and Auburn"? The analytics seem to suggest Kentucky is a click behind them (KenPom ranking: Auburn (4), Alabama (5), Tennessee (6), Kentucky (22)). Of course, the counter to that argument is that while they haven been on par with those teams for most of the season they are getting into that territory now with the way they have played in the last week.

Regardless, both teams are coming in playing with probably the most confidence they've had all season.

UK can match Bama on offense and when actually focused can be pretty good defensively. I would put them right there with UT, Bama, & Auburn. IMHO, a win tonight would be significantly more impressive than winning at South Carolina.
