7-4 - Losses @ #23 Texas A&M (9-2) by 14 / Pitt (9-2) by 1 in OT / @Maryland (9-2) by 24 / #2 Auburn (10-1) by 38
Quality wins : Beat Texas by 8 / Rutgers by 14.

Likely starters :
Devin Royal (soph) - 6-6 220 lbs. Forward - 15.6 ppg / 8 rpg. / 1 apg.
Bruce Thornton (JR.) - 6-2 215 lbs. Guard - 14.8 ppg / 2.7 rpg. / 5.3 apg.
Michael Parrish (SR.) - 6-6 205 lbs. Guard - 10.5 ppg / 4.7 rpg / 2 apg
Meechie Johnson (SR.) - 6-2 185 lbs. Guard - 9 ppg / 2.5 rpg / 2.7 apg
Sean Stewart (Soph) - 6.9 220 lbs. Forward - 5.7 ppg / 5.8 rpg

Key reserves :
John Mobley (Freshman) - 6-1 175 lbs. Guard - 12 ppg / 1.3 rpg. / 1.5 apg.
Aaron Bradshaw (Soph.) - 7-1 215 lbs. C/PF - 7.8 ppg. / 4.8 rpg.
Evan Mohaffey (JR.) - 6-6 200 lbs. G/F - 5.4 ppg. / 4.1 rpg. / 1.2 apg.

They have played a really solid schedule, been blown out by the better teams, have a couple solid wins. We need to be ready from the tip and play 40 minutes. Cats favored by 6, over / under 160. Cats can't just show up and expect to win, it will be a game for a while, hopefully, a nice double digit win, 88-74 is my prediction. Mobley (53.57%) can stroke it, he actually shoots it better than Brea (53.12%) from 3. Mobley has hit 4 less 3's than Brea, both are from New York.

Bradshaw is back with the team in NYC, but Meechie Johnson is still out supposedly. They lost Glover earlier this year too so they only have a couple of guards on the roster.

Mobley has been really good this year, especially for a freshman.

The closer we get to SEC the more I want to start seeing 40 minutes of great hard effort by any of our guys on the court. We need to be physical, we need to be smart but we better start seeing more guys on the floor when a ball comes out. No standing and reaching down for the ball. More of the Garrison effort on that ball going out of bounds. Rebound/Rebound/Rebound.

It’s the same thing as the Louisville game. If Kentucky doesn’t guard ball screens, and more importantly doesn’t guard the 3 point line Ohio state will stay in the game. Ohio state making 3s is the only way this game is close.

I think the game is over early and we cruise something like 91-72

It’s time to start utilizing that bench and playing 9-10 guys, playing hard, and trying to keep people fresh because we need to start at a good pace for this marathon. Don’t need to win by 30. Just win by 15-18 and be smart. Some games are gonna require a tighter rotation.

Is Bradshaw playing? And more importantly, is he even going to be a factor if he does?

I actually feel good about this game because it seems OSU is reeling with some injuries and off court issues (Bradshaw). Butler has had a week off so he should be fine, and this is a big name opponent that we hopefully aren't sleeping for.

On top of that, MSG will be a good amount of UK fans, and we weill be doing the same shoot around, in the same place, as the opponent. None of this "Kentucky goes to a practice gym" ********, which yes, I believe is a bigger deal than we realize. I expect 3pt shooting to be a little better today.

If we can't beat OSU on a neutral floor then we need to start dimming expectations very seriously.

Doesnt need to be a blowout or anything, but if you're a second weekend type team, you win this game.

If they only have a couple guards I’d like to see us really pressure them. Felt we should have pressured ul more due to their lack of depth.

Wear ‘em out
