Kentucky heads to Baton Rouge Tuesday at 7pm on ESPN.  Should be a good game with both teams ranked in the Top 20.

Hopefully Kentucky stays hot.

LSU 75

Cats 68

I don't really know anything at all about LSU.

Saw LSU is a 2 point favorite. Makes sense with their ranking and I would anticipate, with it being UK's first road conference game, to fall short.

LSU by 9.

Cats by 5.

I’d love to say CATS by 12 but man SEC road games are tough.  We will see what kind of progress this team has really made over the past few weeks. 

UK by 18.

Kentucky cold to start this game so far.

Cats down now 15-9 at the under 12 media timeout. It looks like Wheeler may not return and the Cats offense looks out of sync right now.

Cats down 21-20 at the under 8 timeout. Not bad with Wheeler still out and Oscar on the bench with 2 fouls.

Cats cold as ice from the arc. Grady is either hot or cold. 

LSU leads 35 to 30 at the half.

Not bad with Oscar Tshiebwe  and Sahvir Wheeler out.

I'm just now catching up to half time.  While frustrating as hell, I'm proud of the way Kentucky responded with Wheeler injured and Tschiebwe in foul trouble.  Toppin really stepped up. I mean wow, what a half he had.  

 

As for the game play.  I think Grady is getting very frustrated and I don't blame him. I think he was very noticeable fouled 3-4 times, with 2 taking him to the ground and one over the back that got called out of bounds on him instead.  Settle him down at half time, figure out some ways to get the shooters good looks and this game is very winnable still.
