Is Kentucky gonna be a problem?

Yes. They were a problem before Big Z. They have outstanding athleticism all over the floor. Auburn will be also.

The biggest advantage they have is very little film is available to study Big Z weaknesses. It will come out eventually. It might be tournament time thou.

how many fouls will that take? Thats my point.. we have 6-7 fouls to give in the post....before we are in serious trouble. Kentucky with this guy now has a good 16 to give up safely between their 4 post guys. I think we can overcome but I worry. We pull the wrong refs and we are toast.

Kentucky doesn't play much defense, Georgia put up 96 and lost. I think our defense can keep them in the 70's and I'm hoping, like Bama, we can frustrate them, turn them over and basically take them out of their game. I would feel more confident if it wasn't in Rupp. The Cats are big at the 4 & 5 and I think we've seen CRB looking ahead to that a bit as we have seen Aidoo and Awaka on the floor together some of late as well as more of Estrella. You may have noticed Mashack guarding post players too. They're scheming something up for the Cat's big men, I just hope it works!

This new guy they just got cleared ZVONIMIR IVISIC is kinda scary in his first action vs UGA 16 mins 13 points, 5 boards and 3 blocks made 3-4 from 3. This kid is 7-2 giving them 3 legit 7 footers

Tennessee needs to go at this guy on February 2nd with Aidoo and Awaka and Estrella and get him in foul trouble.

Key is to get back on defense and not allow UK to score in transition. Make them play the 1/2 court game against our defense.

This and minimize drives in the paint for shots as those and free throws were the only effective ways bama scored on Saturday.

Easier said than done. They are jets in transition. They are a big problem in my opinion with the addition of Z. He is a projected lottery pick and has played 1 game in college . International players are just different now. They have game……… gotta hope Cal will mismanage playing time and they will implode. Let’s see how they play on the road but I think they are definitely the favorite to win the sec. Their roster is loaded with elite talent. They probably have 8 NBA players on the roster. Plus their best defender and rebounder hasn’t played in 2 weeks with a back issue.

Kentucky is only a 4.5 point favorite against South Carolina tomorrow night. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them lose outright. That place has been a house of horrors for them in the past and after all this Big Z talk and the parade of his arrival last week, I wouldn’t be surprised to see them fall flat on their face in this midweek game on the road.

Is kentucky ever not a problem? Everyone in the sec is a problem. Look at our road game at miss state. I get the message board banter is fun and it’s good conversation to discuss, but I'd encourage you to not worry about individual personnel of specific teams until game week. I'd like to imagine the team isn't.
