How does UK match up with Wichita State?

The shockers should be able to at least hold their own inside... and their guard play appears to be significantly better... but Kentucky is playing pretty good ball right now.
IMO, this is the most interesting game of the first three rounds.

Very well. If Wichita State can't get going from behind the arc, they are royally fricked.

UK is very young and if I recall it took me to my late 20's to master the shocker.

Disagree. UK bigs will own the Shockers'. Guard play is another story, though.

If they hold their own inside, they will win. I think UK has an obvious mismatch in size and athleticism.

Just wait for the unstoppable force that is auburn in a couple years. Neither will have a prayer. I swear I am already sick of the basketball threads started by AU fans.

Wichita State vs teams in the NCAA and SEC
11.20 @ Tulsa : 77-54 : #13 seed in NCAA, eliminated by #4 UCLA, 17 point spread
11.26 vs BYU : 75-62 : #10 seed in NCAA, eliminated by #7 Oregon, 19 point spread
12.01 @ SLU : 70-65 : #5 seed in NCAA, eliminated by #4 Louisville, 15 point spread
12.14 vs Tennessee : 70-61 : #11 seed in NCAA, plays today
12.17 @ Alabama : 72-67 : no post season play
12.22 vs NC - Central : 77-66 : #14 seed in NCA, eliminated by #3 Iowa State, 18 point spread
If UK shows up, this game will not be close. If UK lets WS hang around it will not go well for UK. Team full of freshmen, but if beating #1 motivates them as that is where they were supposed to be, Shockers are in for a shock.
Shockers non conference looks much like Mizzou in they played most games at home, or close to home. The Alabama game was the only one where they really had to travel.
13 non conference games
8 played in Wichita KS
2 played in Kansas City MO
1 played in Saint Louis MO
1 played in Tulsa OK
1 played in Tuscaloosa AL
For all the reference to last years team. Shockers lost 3 Seniors and 1 Sophomore from last years team.

I think UK matches up well and potentially it could be the best game of the tournament. LINK
A few weeks ago I would not have given UK as much of a chance but I think it undeniable they are playing their best ball now and with the talent they have when they are playing at their best I think they will be hard to stop.
I see it as a game of runs and momentum swings and it should go down to the wire.

I've got $20 on UK to cover

I worry about this game for UK. Witchita St. wants their season validated and there's no better way to do that then by beating Kentucky. However, you have to think UK has the program advantage and that often helps in the post-season. UK's been there, done that, and can go to work.
