The 'Cats and the Vols. Always big, and for Kentucky, they need this game in a bad way. Unfortunately for us, so do the Volunteers.

Here's what I'm hoping to see:

• A focused, intense basketball team. I'd like it to be the one in Blue and White;
• Archie Goodwin under control, and attacking the rim;
• Alex Poythress' lights not only on, but somebody home for a change;
• Nerlens Noel to do just what he's been doing. For my money, he's perfect just like he is;
• Kyle Wiltjer to do something. Anything.
• Ryan Harrow to show us the player that he was two games ago;
• Rebounding, rebounding, rebounding.
• A high percentage from the line, in a game that we, you know, win.

We need this game. Losing to Tennessee and Louisville in the same year will be no fun at all.

Go, 'Cats!
