The Kentucky Wildcats take the floor against a winless Monmouth Hawks team tonight in a game that, on paper, should fare well for the Wildcats.
The Hawks have struggled out of the gates mightily, losing their first seven games, six of them by double digits. They don’t shoot the ball exceptionally well from the perimeter as a team, which has been a Kentucky weakness, so that also bodes well for Kentucky.
If Kentucky plays to their potential, this should be a game in which the Wildcats hold a commanding lead throughout the game and never give Monmouth a chance to be in the game. This has the potential to be the type of game fans have wanted to see from this Kentucky team in which they just go out and dominate an opponent.
However, it will come down to how Kentucky shows up to play tonight. Game tips off at 8:30 p.m. ET on the SEC Network.
Tweets of the Day
It’s possible the long-sensible @CFBPlayoff committee has made its most senseless ranking to date with Florida (9-3) at No. 9 with Kentucky (9-3 with win at Florida) at No. 15, and the chairman’s “body of work” argument fizzles when one checks body of work. Body of brand name?
