Kentucky started SEC play off with a with a road win over the Florida Gators and now the Cats will host its first game of conference play.

The matchup predictor from ESPN gives Kentucky an 88% chance to win this basketball game and improve to 2-0 in conference play.
The Tigers opened SEC play with an ugly home loss to the Georgia Bulldogs 75-68. Kentucky should be able to take down the Tigers if they keep shooting the ball well, but this game is an opportunity for the Cats to work on their defense.
Moving to 2-0 in SEC play will boost the Cats even higher in the NET Rankings, so the home opener will be an important one for Kentucky.

Andy Patton wrote about the action from the first day of play across the SEC and which teams looked good.
"John Calipari and the Kentucky Wildcats got off to a 1-0 start in SEC play with a gutsy, hard fought victory on the road against the Florida Gators on Saturday. The Gators proved that no game in the SEC is going to be easy for Kentucky, particularly on the road, and indeed the first SEC Saturday of the season had a handful of very close games and big surprises."
