Kentucky Wildcats @ LSU Tigers: Open Game Thread

Kentucky Wildcats at LSU Tigers, Feb 6, 2010 4:00 PM EST


Today the take on the in Baton Rouge.  After handling the Western Division Co-Leaders, the Mississippi Rebels, the Wildcats get to travel to the house that Pete Maravich built to take on the 0-6 LSU Tigers.

Game particulars are as follows, courtesy of UKAthletics.com:

Date & Time Sat., Feb. 6, 4:00 p.m
Coverage TV: SEC Network
Radio: BBSN
Live Stats
Online Audio listen
Live Video via ESPN360
Location Pete Maravich Assembly Center
Baton Rouge, La.

 

This is one more big step on the road to winning the SEC.  If the Wildcats stumble here, it will be a very bad situation and indicative of the young freshmen not getting it.  LSU will be ready for them and will no doubt bring one of the best games of their season with them.

More after the jump.

Star-divide

What UK needs to do to win:

  • Force LSU into bad shots.  They shoot the ball poorly.
  • Attack the glass at every opportunity
  • Get the ball inside as much as possible to DeMarcus Cousins and Patrick Patterson.
  • Take care of the basketball.

What Kentucky must avoid:

  • Quick shots out of the offense.
  • Allowing LSU to slow down the game
  • Bad fouls
  • Too many shots from the perimeter.  UK outmatches LSU inside.

Go, 'CATS!

OK, here's the Snowy South Halftime Report

Patrick Patterson is officially the best I ever saw at cutting people off on the baseline.
Demarcus Cousins is officially a beast-hands are quick as well as soft
Spider is the best nickname on the team-thanks eagle; and we’re not gonna suffer too much with him on the floor more next year
Bledsoe has hops, but needs to know when to pull it up
Orton is gonna be just fine, thank you
Miller doesn’t hit the stats ‘cause there are too many “stars” around; if we don’t reload a like amount, he’ll be fine, too
’Mon-WHAT. WHAT? Great hang move.
That is all for the Snowy South Halftime Report
