Looks like Kentucky gets Ole Miss tomorrow as they dispatched South Carolina by a score of 66-55. Chris Warren and his beard was too much for South Carolina to handle today as he scored 20 points going 7-16 from the floor and 3-7 from behind the line. Four of the five starters scored in double figures for the Rebels, but this came against a horrible South Carolina team. In my mind, the main players Kentucky will need to contain is obviously Chris Warren and the other is Reginald Buckner. Both guys are great athletes, and can score the ball.
Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy said after the game "I was hoping we would get to play Kentucky in front of about 20,000 Kentucky fans". Well Mr. Kennedy... You got your wish, the question is how do you get your team fired up to play a Kentucky team that you beat on last second prayer from "the beard"? No doubt DeAndre Liggins will be assigned to defend Chris Warren, and if Liggins plays defense like only Liggins can, he will have Chris Warren's beard worn off by the start of the second half.
But in all seriousness, it should be a great game tomorrow, and a great atmosphere as I have heard that Kentucky have turned out in droves in CATlanta. If Kentucky keeps up the play they have shown the last few weeks it should be an easy win. But as you well know, the opposing team always plays their best game against the CATS.
Lets hope for a good showing by the CATS tomorrow, and show Ole Miss how the first meeting SHOULD HAVE turned out!
