It’s Feast Week across the college basketball world. Kentucky will face its pre-Thanksgiving opponent on Wednesday against John Pelphrey‘s Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles.

To help get the juices flowing ahead of tipoff (7:00 p.m. ET | SEC Network), a couple of Wildcats spoke with reporters Tuesday morning to preview the matchup. Sophomores Trent Noah and Andrija Jelavić sat down in front of the microphones to talk about their recent performances, Pelphrey (a member of UK’s “Unforgettables” team back in 1991-92), what Tennessee Tech brings to the table, what Monday’s three-hour practice was like, and much more.

And of course, we got their thoughts on their favorite Thanksgiving side dishes — a new phenomenon for the Croatian-born Jelavić. Noah also revealed that the team will spend Thanksgiving together at Mark Pope‘s house, but he’s not expecting his head coach to be the one cooking the turkey. Dive into the video below to hear everything Noah and Jelavić had to say.
