The college basketball world will have its eyes on Chicago tonight when Kentucky basketball takes on Kansas in a battle between blue bloods. It's an important game for Mark Pope and the Wildcats, who struggled last year in their non-conference games against Power Four teams.
One of the secondary stories in the game will be Tyran Stokes, who chose Kansas over Kentucky during the offseason. There is certain to be some bad blood due to the way Stokes handled the commitment, taking a visit to Lexington even after his decision was made.
Kentucky will need to get out to a good start in this one. Their first half play has been inconsistent so far, and against James Madison, the defense struggled with rotations, and gave up too many open shooters. On
offense, the Wildcats need Milan Momcilovic to knock down some shots after an off night the last time out. Avoiding turnovers from the guards will also be key.
