Five takeaways from Kentucky’s media availability previewing Tuesday’s game against LSU:
u25aa John Calipari said this week’s games against No. 19 LSU Tuesday and No. 1 Tennessee Saturday represent the toughest two-game stretch of Kentucky’s season. Tougher than No. 18 North Carolina and No. 15 Louisville in an eight-day span in late December. And tougher than No. 12 Auburn, No. 22 Mississippi State and No. 10 Kansas in an eight-day span in late January.
u25aa Calipari downplayed the notion of an exciting point guard matchup between UK’s Ashton Hagans and LSU’s Tremont Waters. He said that Hagans might guard Waters only on a limited basis.
