This is one of those games you hate to see, a game that can only hurt you can can't really help. After the loss at Alabama, though, any victory is a good victory if Kentucky can get one.

What I hope for:

• A good game out of Archie Goodwin. I don't care if he scores a lot, I just want him to play the game well;
• Kyle Wiltjer to continue his improvement;
• Nerlens Noel is on triple-double alert today. I hope he gets it;
• Communication on defense AND offense;
• Ryan Harrow to be aggressive, but not insanely so;
• Tough perimeter defense to forestall a catastrophic shooting day for LSU.

If we could have a complete 40-minute game today, it would be really, really great. I hope we do.

Go, 'Cats!
