Kentucky is on the road, again. For the fifth time in seven games, the Wildcats are playing away from Rupp Arena. Tonight Coach Cal’s crew is calling Colonial Life Arena in Columbia, South Carolina home. Tip-off is at 7 pm ET on ESPN.
South Carolina is one of five SEC teams with a 4-6 record in conference play. Frank Martin’s squad will play his signature bully ball, mucking up the game with physical play, particularly in the paint. Last week the extra physicality appeared to rattle Oscar Tshiebwe on offense. Those tests should prepare him for what he will face tonight in the paint.
