The Cats will return to Rupp Arena tonight for another home game after beating Tennessee State on Friday night. The Wildcats are now 5-1 on the season, but they still have some issues to work through.
Defense remains a major weakness for this basketball team and it is something John Calipari addressed at his pregame press conference. Now the Cats will take another stab at it with Monmouth coming to Lexington. The Hawks will be Kentucky’s final cupcake of the season (ranked 263rd in KenPom) with the non-conference slate starting to wind down. We’ll see if UK can gain some momentum before a very good UNC Greensboro team comes to town on Saturday.
