Tonight at 7:00 Kentucky will take on the LSU Tigers down in Baton Rouge. Coach Will Wade’s squad is 12-1, but 0-1 in the SEC after last week’s 70-55 loss at Auburn. The Tigers will be ready to right the ship on their home floor. Meanwhile, the Wildcats are 11-2, 1-0 in the SEC with four straight wins of at least 27 points.
Coming in with the country’s best defense per KenPom, LSU mostly dominated their non-conference opponents against an admittedly weaker schedule. They open with an absolute gauntlet of a schedule in the Southeastern Conference, so it won’t take long to find out who they really are.
