3 things to watch for in Kentucky's game against Missouri
The No. 6 Kentucky Wildcats return home to Rupp Arena tomorrow night for a matchup with the Missouri Tigers.
What are three things to watch for in the Wildcats' SEC home opener?
Will Kentucky show up when the game starts?
Kentucky has already seen what can happen when a team gets caught looking ahead this season, but this is another game that could be a trap.
Missouri has been struggling and Kentucky has a tough road test against Texas A&M on Saturday.
Will Missouri have Kentucky's full attention?
How will Kentucky handle Sean East II?
Missouri has a valuable asset in senior guard Sean East II.
East, a 6-foot-3 native of Louisville, leads the Tigers in scoring with 17.1 points per game. He is shooting 55.4% from the floor and 53.8% from 3-point range sofa this season.
East is a talented guard who is capable of impacting a game. How will Kentucky go about slowing him down?
Can Kentucky force Missouri to turn the ball over?
Missouri knows how to take care of the basketball. That is how the Tigers were able to compete with No. 2 Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse earlier this season.
If Kentucky could force Missouri to turn the ball over early, it could put itself in a good position to win.
Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. ET and ESPN will carry the broadcast.
