The Cats open SEC play Saturday night against the Ole Miss Rebels. Coach Cal met the press Friday afternoon to preview the game and more.
Ole Miss
Last season, the Rebels gave Kentucky all they could handle in a double overtime thriller at Rupp Arena, but John Calipari does not think that tight games with Andy Kennedy’s team are not an aberration.
"But every game we’ve played against Mississippi has been that way. Whether it’s down there or here, they’re dogfights, and this one will be the same", he said.
Calipari said he anticipates the Rebels will test UK due to the number of different defensive schemes that Ole Miss uses.
