Kentucky vs. Tennessee State Game Thread

The Kentucky Wildcats are back in action tonight after beating Winthrop just two days ago. They take on Tennessee State Tigers at 7:00 pm EST in Rupp Arena.

It’s been a great start to the season in terms of offense, but the defense is still lacking. Look for Calipari to tighten up the D as they try to get into midseason form.

In three weeks Kentucky will start a stretch in which they play Utah, UNC, and Louisville all back-back-back. In order for the team to be ready for that, they need to step up their play against teams like Tennessee State.

After the shaky start to the season, P.J. Washington is really coming along, showing all of BBN just how much he’s improved from last season. If he can continue this level of play, it will take the Cats a long way.

As usual, the game will be on the SEC Network. You can watch it online using WatchESPN, the WatchESPN app and fuboTV. You can listen to an online radio stream via UK Athletics.
