Tonight the Kentucky Basketball team will travel to Columbia, South Carolina to face their first opponent as the #1 team in the country. [B]That is, if they have a map to get there ;)[/B] As if every team in the SEC wasn’t geared up to play Kentucky before, their number one ranking will make it that much harder to play on the road.
[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]The game will be aired on ESPN, so I’m not expecting too much love from the commentators. We all know it seems ESPN has something against us this year, but Caliparis “Jagoff” comment probably didnt’ help. On a positive note, the game will not be carried on the SEC Network. The only network that can broadcast a game and make my HDTV look like i’m using rabbit ears in an abandoned mine in the mountains of southeast KY. I mean really, can they not fix the feed from the game? The uninformed commentators don’t help things either…I’ll leave that rant for a later post.
Darius Miller had a coming out party on Saturday vs. the Razorback and everyone will be looking to see if he can continue his strong offensive play. The Wildcats seem to beat the Gamecocks in every category.
South Carolina Senior guard Devan Downey, will be the the one to watch. Downey is averaging over 21ppg. with only one other player scoring in double digits (Brandis-Raley Ross – 10ppg). Armed with a quick shot, Downey could give UK problems from behind the arch. The long arms of Darius Miller, and the speed of Wall and Bledsoe will be key in keeping Downy in check.
Below you’ll find Calipari, Wall, Paterson and Orton talking about tonights game. But first, a look into one of South Carolina’s finer moments.
