I agree with SD. Festus won't be easy to score on under the bucket. Getting him into foul trouble and putting him on the bench would lead to some baskets for Jones and offensive boards for Harrellson. Even while this happens, everyone needs to do their part for the Wildcats to steal one in Nashville. Knight needs to run the team, Lamb needs to provide instant offense off the bench, Miller needs to stay agressive and rebound, and Liggins needs to continue to be the defensive leader and make all the hustle plays for this team.

The freshmen may be a little rattled to start the game in this uniqiue environment (I will never understand why Vanderbilt's court is set up the way it is) and that's what scares me. The fans will be rowdy and if UK isn't making shots and executing early, they may find theirselves in a hole in the first 5-7 minutes.

I say Kentucky pulls this one out though.
