The Southern Jaguars are led by former Kentucky Star Sean Woods, who would love nothing more than pulling an Evansville from two years ago and upsetting the Wildcats.
Kentucky is showing up to this game as hot as any team in the country right now. After their season-opening loss to Duke, the Cats have been rolling. Oscar Tshiebwe is a dominating presence in the paint, cleaning the glass with a nation-leading 16 boards a night. They have a balanced scoring attack led by freshman star TyTy Washington.
The Cats are looking to continue their reign of dominance. Calipari hasnβt been happy with the way that his team has been finishing games this season. Look for Cal to put the pedal to the floor the whole game to get his men ready for SEC play coming up.
Southern is showing up with defending freshman of the year in the SWAC, Terrell Williams, and a pretty strong defense that forces turnovers at a high rate. The Jaguars have a team that could contend for the SWAC title, but this is not Jackson State. They have shown up against Louisville, losing by 12, but got throttled by Akron over the weekend.
