Kentucky vs. Texas A&M 1/14
#1
The gauntlet continues early on in conference play, as we have another ranked matchup but this one at Rupp. This makes their 4th conference game and 3 against a ranked opponent and lets be honest Georgia has been on the cusp of cracking the top 25 for a few weeks now and they'll definitely make a big jump after last week. 

So another interesting game looms for Kentucky. A&M, a lot like Miss St. relies a lot on their defensive prowess and consistently keep a top 25 ranking in defensive efficiency including this season. We seen how that worked out for both teams on Saturday, as they both ran into elite offensive teams in Kentucky & Alabama who made them both play to their adjusted tempo. I think Kentucky can do the same with A&M, they provide a lot of size and toughness, and great guard play with Wade Taylor (even tho he has been out the last few games) and Phelps, who can score with the best of them in this conference. If Kentucky can yet again control the tempo, or even show the toughness they displayed against MSU, have a great feeling we can pull this one out, but with the SEC we know nothing is easy, I think it will be another high scoring affair. 

Kentucky- 88
Texas A&M- 79

No betting odds have been released yet, but the ESPN matchup predictor (for whatever that's worth) gives Kentucky a 60.5% chance to win.

And thank goodness this is the early tip-off on ESPN at 7:00. What's everyone else's thoughts?

After the game if I read lips correctly Oweh was saying let’s go home, let’s go home. I think Kentucky wins but in a close one. These kids know how special it is to play at Rupp and with the fan base at an energy level that hasn’t been seen in a long time, it’s going to be rowdy!!! Go Cats!!!!

Be nice to have the home crowd on our side again,  been a few games  Wink

I think this one will be another up and down matchup with the cats getting their 3rd SEC win. No place like home!

I've saw Texas A&M play a bit this season and this is one of our games that I've felt good about. If we come out ice cold, it will be a long night, otherwise, I like our chances in this one.

Old School has a tough decision . Do I go watch the Corbin-South Laurel tilt at Gilliam Gym or stay home , listen to the Hounds on the radio and watch the Cats and Aggies. What would you do if you were me? The Hounds are probably gonna get their meat grinded by Mr Mabe but the KY game should be a dandy. What do I do?

OSH I say stay in the house, stay warm and watch the Cats. 

Gonna be brutal cold tonight, at least if you get frustrated at the Corbin game, you still have to walk out in the cold, out to the car and drive home. But if UK frustrates you, at least you can do that in the comfort of your own home!

On National Logic Day, that is a very logical response.

Well we can’t play a lot worse

We can't seem to find a happy medium. We either shoot the lights out or we can't hit a bull in the ass with a base fiddle.

We need halftime adjustments, Coach!!
