A season of “Must-Win” games continues for the Cats as they come off an embarrassing loss for first place in the SEC East, to take on the West Division champion LSU Tigers.
“We definitely need the win, but I don’t think it’s time to panic.” Said Jodie Meeks yesterday.
But panic should be setting in. Kentucky has lost five of their last seven and continues to struggle with the fundamentals of taking care of the ball. The Wildcats turn the ball over more than any team in the SEC and have a negative three turnover margin.
With massive amounts of turnovers, Kentucky has struggled in recent SEC play.
The LSU Tigers head into Rupp Arena on an 12 game win streak and look to clinch the SEC title outright with a victory against Kentucky. The Tigers have not won in Lexington since 1989, but Billy Gillispie knows that the history means nothing.
“They are very consistent and they have a great deal of composure. They never seem to crack. I think that has a lot to do with experience. They are a really solid team.” Said Coach GIllispie.
With the experience laden Tigers headed for Rupp Arena, Kentucky has a game which they must prove they belong.
