As of this posting, the first thread on the Missouri game tonight is the 15th most recently replied thread. I don't think this will be the easiest game of the season but it is definitely the most overlooked due to the combination of:
1) Missouri being a bad team and the game being in Rupp so there is almost no chance of a loss.
2) The Kansas game coming up on Saturday
3) We are midseason so there is no fresh "let's see what our new players have to offer" type intrigue that normally would make our cupcake games more exciting in November and December. There is obviously still room for improvement (specifically from Skal) but for the most part, we've seen what each player can and will bring to the table.
Hopefully the players aren't feeling the same way but even if they do, I'm having trouble imagining any scenario that results in a Kentucky loss tonight.
