Kentucky's young team will be going into another SEC hostile home court at Fayetteville on Tuesday night to meet a good Arkansas team. How does everyone think the U.K. Freshmen will do vs. Arkansas, that is very good at home ?

I am going to pick U.K. but will say that's a much more "heart" pick this time, it would not surprise me at all if the Hogs came out on top.

 

Kentucky 77

I forgot to add a poll to this thread. Could a mod please add one. Thank you.

Arkansas just lost a close one to Florida at home. The odds are against them losing 2 in a row. Hogs 82 Cats 76.

I'm going with the Wildcats 75-69.

Going to be a hard place to win. If we show more improvement, especially at the guard position, I think we can steal the win. It may be ugly, but hoping they can grind it out. We need Young to have a good night and production off the bench.

Info on Arkansas:

 

This season, Arkansas once again makes its living on defense with turnovers - forcing miscues on 24.9 percent of opponents' possessions, the sixth-best rate in the nation - but has taken a step forward on offense. The Razorbacks are 40th nationally in effective field-goal percentage at 53.5, an improvement of more than five percent from a season ago.

 

"They shoot the ball well," Calipari said. "They shoot it from the 3, they shoot the 2s well, and they shoot free throws at 70 percent. So it's not a game you can go down there and throw a bunch of clunkers up, because you're going to have a problem."

 

Arkansas is among the deepest teams in the country, as no Razorback is averaging more than 25.4 minutes and 12 average double-digit minutes. Sophomore Bobby Qualls leads four Razorbacks averaging double figures in scoring at 12.7 points per game.

 

Coach Cal asking for next level of commitment, focus from Cats - Kentucky Wildcats

Kentucky is going to have a real test on defense tonight and they are going to need to bring their best. Might be a tough one.

Hogs 69-61

Kentucky 74-71. The crowd will be stoked.

Key#1, this is all about defense. The Cats will need their best defensive effort of the year to win. Key #2, take care of the ball.

Cats 69-68
