The Cats are back in action Wednesday afternoon after a few days off. Finals are over, the kids are gone, and Christmas is looming. This makes the Winthrop game a little dangerous.
Winthrop
Conference: Big South
Best Win: @ Wake Forest, Jacksonville (Beat Florida, Auburn)
Worst Loss: Hampton
Key Losses: Charlotte (Beat Tennessee), VCU
Winthrop is your typical mid major team. They don't overpower with any talent. They are a talented team, but they won't overwhelm you. The one thing that might, MIGHT, hurt the Cats is free throw shooting. They shoot 69% from the charity stripe and we all know Kentucky's ability to collect stupid fouls.
Kentucky
Conference: SEC
Best Win: Washington
Worst Loss: UConn
Key Loss: @ UNC by 1 (4 players fouled out)
Kentucky shoots the 3 ball better than they did a year ago. The turnovers aren't that big of an issues. Kentucky ranks 13th in the nation in turnovers which is pretty good considering its a frosh team.
Key to the game:
Kentucky needs to limit its fouling and pray we get decent refs. Kentucky should dispatch Winthrop fairly easily. I look for the halftime score to be close before the Cats take care of business.
Winthrop 65 Kentucky 82
