How to watch Kentucky's matchup with Oakland in the NCAA Tournament

Here's how to watch Kentucky's first game in the NCAA Tournament.

It's the best time of the year in the Bluegrass State as Big Blue Nation is getting excited about the Big Dance. 

The Wildcats will get things started with a game against the Oakland Golden Grizzlies, who won the Horizon League. 

Oakland has a few players, like the sharpshooter Jack Gohlke and do-it-all forward Trey Townsend, who can cause the Wildcats issues. The key to stopping these guys is watching a lot of film and Coach Calipari putting together a great game plan. Gohlke literally only likes to shoot threes. He won't take the ball to the rim, so Kentucky needs to contest knowing he won't put the ball on the ground. Townsend likes to play bully ball but is only 6'6, so putting Adou Thiero or Justin Edwards on him should help slow the Horizon League Player of the Year. 

The Wildcats need their stars Antonio Reeves, Reed Sheppard, and Rob Dillingham to play well, and if they do, Kentucky will move on to the Round of 32. 

Let's take a look at how to watch Kentucky's matchup with the Oakland Golden Grizzlies.
