It could get UGLY real quick for them. They only AVG 71 PPG we AVG 93.3 PPG. We give up 68.7 PPG and they give up 72.6 PPG. So we score the ball MUCH better and play better defense. They only shoot about 31% from 3 in much less attempts and we shoot 40% from 3 with alot more attempts. We AVG 47 rebounds a game they only get around 32.8 rebounds a game and are getting outrebounded by about 4.2 a game already. We AVG 23.3 ASSISTS per game they AVG 13.4 ASSISTS per game. A not very good ARK beat them by 16 points already they are 2-3 on the season. I wont go into individual matchups beacsue we dominate every one of them.

So you're allowing them (all but) their scoring average. I guess you're thinking the Cats will force a fast paced game and they'll have more possessions than usual - not that it will do them much good.

"A not very good ARK team". How could that be possible considering their coach?? :)
 
Slow start wouldn't surprise me. Feels like an eternity since the big win over Duke and attendance at the start of games has been questionable - thus, energy could be a bit low. I would expect UK to win by 18+ though.

Looking at Ticketmaster it doesn’t look like it’ll be a good crowd tonight. Very rarely are there lower level tickets available from UK(not resale).

Lipscomb is a heck of a lot better team than who we play Friday so if folks are able to go, it could be a fun game against a team tabbed to win the ASUN and one of the best players in that conference.
 
I've been looking at them this morning and noticed that they actually played Arkansas very well. In fact, they were within 4 points of Arkansas with under 8 minutes remaining, before the Razorbacks pushed out the lead to 16 by the end of the game. Arkansas was up by 11 at the half before Lipscomb made a push in the middle of the 2nd half. The Bisons also played Western KY very well in Bowling Green. Lipscomb led that game by 1 at the half. It was close down the stretch with Lipscomb cutting the lead to 3 with 30 seconds remaining.

Lipscomb has a player who is expected to be the player of the year in the ASun conference. His name is Jacob Ognacevic, from Sheboygan, WI not Eastern Europe. He's a 6-8 220lb senior who has been averaging 20.6pts, 8reb, and he's shoots 40% from 3 for his career. He's similar in many ways to Cooper Flagg- handles and shoots the ball pretty well and is a leader for his team.

Having said all of that, if UK picks up where they left off with Duke, it will be a 20pt+ win. I expect Lipscomb to fight the Cats but it will come down to making those threes for UK. If the Cats are making their shots or forcing turnovers and getting out in transition, it will be lights out pretty early on. I noticed on some video of Lipscomb, they like to play some zone at times. I kinda doubt they will play zone against UK, but if they do, I think it will be trouble. I think the Cats are due a breakout game from 3.

Honestly, I really hope they do go zone b/c these Cats haven't seen much (if any) yet, so it will good to have reps against one.
