- The Cats must, and I mean must control the boards tonight. Devan Downey was 9-for-29 from the field in USC's win a little over a month ago, which means most of the Gamecock's points came off of second chance points. Kentucky is such a good rebounding team at every position it's insane to think that history could repeat itself, but Cousins and Patterson need to assert themselves on the glass early so we can transition well and put this game away.
- We need to control our energy early on, mainly by putting thoughts of "revenge" in the backs of our minds and not let a raucous crowd put us over the edge. Eric Bledsoe has a tendency to come out a bit too hopped up on Mountain Dew and it usually results in early fouls and a seat on the bench. He needs to stay composed and stay on the floor to help UK in the first half, so he can take a rest on the bench when the Cats are up twenty in the second half.
Cats by 14.
