I think KY goes down in a close battle... 62-70. Both teams are really deep btw.

 

[eebmg]

Just love Eric Frede, Tamika Catchings pairing. This one should be fun.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Didn’t realize how top heavy Kentucky’s SEC schedule was to start the season

 

[WFFL]

This is the most intriguing matchup of the night. Now that we dont have the BU-Husky showdown

 

[southie]

Battle of the Transfer U's coming up .. . .

 

[southie]

Alexis Morris and Zaay Green out for A&M tonight

 

[Shades]

47-47 with 3:30 left in third

 

[SECbbfan24]

Kentucky looks a bit lethargic tonight. A&M capitalizing.

 

[Shades]

I don’t think Howard will be able to hero-ball her team to a win tonight.

 

[SECbbfan24]

D. Edwards was a turnover machine tonight.

Difference tonight is A&M is getting to the line.

A&M clearly the superior and more disciplined team, and they played without Morris and Green.

Nixon had an outstanding game, and Jones and Johnson may be the most underrated front court in the country.

A&M clearly the superior team, and they played without Morris and Green.

More importantly, the superior coach.

I love watching A&M much more now than I did with Carter. They play as a team, the chemistry is so much better.

Sure wish Johnson had stayed at Louisville. She's become a really solid player.

Kentucky has played with a lack of discipline for years, going back at least to the Makayla Epps era. She was an early Louisville commit who switched to Kentucky. A great talent but I'm glad we didn't get her.

 

[DeeHusky]

I’d go with Dana Evans over Rhyne Howard as the front runner for player of the year at this point in the season

 

[Jmsdawg]

Looking at the stats, Kentucky was 4 of 17 shooting 3. Live by 3s die by 3s. Kentucky has a inside game but looks like they feel in love with the 3s.

Indeed, it was only by making a flurry of 3s late in the game that they were able to beat Mississippi State.

Statistically, Kentucky is a mediocre 34% from 3 on the season. The MSU game was an outlier, as KY finished 14 of 28 from the arc: the most 3FG attempts they've taken this season, and tying for the highest 3FG% in a game at 50%.

My impression is that this lack of disciplined play is a side effect of Mitchell's exodus crisis of several years ago (the emergence from which started in the Epps-led period). In a way it became a selling point that has succeeded in attracting a slew of quality transfer talent: players can go there to feel "free" and unfettered by such shackles as systems and discipline.

One natural outcome of this ethos has been a bizarre situation in the wake of the 2020 season, where their star player was apparently more upset about a perceived "snub" from an All-American team, rather than the team's mediocre results from that season.

The rumor here in Kentucky was that Epps was a big part of the problem - was allowed to operate under a different set of rules than the rest of the team.
