I like the Cats by 6. If Lee can provide some valuable minutes again that'd be huge. Cal knows Hawkins can hound people on D and will unleash him again (he was a pest to Stauskas and in the U of L game. Most amazing thing about Hawkins is how big he's been for UK in the past two games and he hasn't taken a shot.

Big Willie's response when asked if he could play Saturday:

 

“I really don’t know. I hope so. I really hope so. I’m going to go back to Lexington and get a bunch of treatment. Lot of ice, and lot of standing. Maybe, just maybe this weekend I can suit up or something.”

Who guards Kaminsky?

UK doesn't have anybody that can guard him. He's going to go all Goose Givens on the Cats.

 

 

Wisconsin 77

 

Kentucky 60

That would be amazing if somehow big WCS was able to contribute even a little bit. As we saw with Lee yesterday, that shot blocking presence in the paint changes everything.

So your answer to my question is: nobody?

I see this as a rematch of Rupp's Runts vs Texas Western. Only this time UK is Texas Western, too much athleticism.

WCS would have probably done well against him. I guess you have to go Randle, maybe a little of Lee too.

I think Poythress would be the best option...:idunno:

I like that choice.

If Cal was willing to sacrifice offense, I would stick Poythress on him with a box-and-one just to see how they deal with it.

Isn't that dude like 7 foot?

Close to it. Randle's only an inch taller than Poythress. We can all agree Dakari can't guard him, so that leaves 6'9" Randle or 6'8" Poythress.

Yes, but he plays a lot on the perimeter.
