Next Opponent Kentucky
Clay Lexington Herald Leader: After the Wildcats’ huge win at Tennessee, five questions for Kentucky basketball
1. CAN KENTUCKY KEEP IT GOING?
“That’s the overriding question. Saturday’s win was as impressive as it was unexpected. Especially on defense. UK shot 35.5 percent, but forced Tennessee to miss 18 of its 21 three-point attempts. The Cats pounded UT on the boards 43-23.
One signature win does not a season make, however. Think last season. Kentucky obliterated the Vols 107-79 in Rupp Arena, then lost at Auburn two games later. Kentucky smashed eventual national champ Kansas 80-62 in January, then lost to Saint Peter’s in the first round of March Madness.
Is Kentucky the Kentucky we saw at Thompson-Boling Arena? Or is Kentucky the Kentucky we saw pre-Tennessee?”
2. WHAT CHANGED FOR KENTUCKY DEFENSIVELY?
“Before Saturday, Kentucky ranked 90th in adjusted defensive efficiency by Ken Pomeroy’s computer. After Saturday, the Cats ranked 66th. Before Saturday, UK ranked 62nd in the NCAA NET rankings. After Saturday, the Cats jumped to 45th.
Before Saturday, John Calipari insisted this should be a good defensive team. Saturday, we finally saw it. Cal’s strategy was to not help center Oscar Tshiebwe on the defensive end. Thus UT center Uros Plavsic scored 19 points. Plavsic’s teammates scored just 37, however. The 56 points tied Tennessee’s season low.
“There’s obviously a lot of things I’m disappointed with our guys,” Tennessee head coach Rick Barnessaid. “But you have to give Kentucky all the credit in the world. Coming off, obviously, a tough loss and they won the game. They won it.”
Kentucky did benefit from UT missing easy shots at the rim. Still, this was UK’s most cohesive defensive performance.
“One, it was fight,” UK’s Jacob Toppin said on Saturday. “But also we always talk about talking, but one thing with talking, you also have to listen. And we had some guys not listening on defense in previous games. Today we had collective group where we were talking and listening.”
3. HOW BIG A KEY IS A HEALTHY CJ FREDRICK?
“Fredrick’s return has been timely and impactful. Even with a bandaged hand, Fredrick played 37 minutes. He was 4 of 11 from the floor, including 3 of 9 from three-point range. He committed just two turnovers. He was what he was before transferring from Iowa, a steady/heady player who poses a perimeter threat. Moving forward, the Cats need more of that.”
4. HOW DOES UK DEAL WITH THE RETURN OF SAHVIR WHEELER?
“Kentucky’s senior point guard, Sahvir Wheeler, missed Saturday’s game because of a shoulder injury suffered in practice. Then Kentucky went out and earned its best win of the season, on the road, over a top-5 team.
Calipari started Cason Wallace at the point in Knoxville. The freshman was limited to 22 minutes by foul and back trouble, however. Fredrick took a turn at running the offense. So did, improbably, freshman Adou Thiero.
So what happens when Wheeler returns? Is he back in the starting lineup? Will Calipari stick with the rotation that vanquished the Vols? Or will the head coach find a hybrid model that incorporates different players at the point? Stay tuned.”
5. WILL UK SUFFER A LETDOWN AGAINST GEORGIA?
“Georgia visits Rupp Arena on Tuesday for a 9 p.m. tipoff. The Bulldogs aren’t world-beaters, but they are 3-1 in the SEC. They own a 76-64 win over then No. 22 Auburn and earned a 62-58 victory at Ole Miss on Saturday. They’ve won six of their last seven games.
New Georgia coach Mike White is the old Florida coach. He knows Kentucky. During his Gainesville run, White was 4-10 vs. Calipari. He has a terrific player in Terry Roberts, a 6-foot-3 transfer from Bradley who is averaging 15.6 points and 4.2 assists per game. The Dawgs won’t just roll over on Tuesday.”

Field of 68 Daily: Kentucky and Indiana back on track?
UK and IU get much-needed wins, a couple of challengers to Kansas arise in the Big 12, NC State impresses, Arizona and UConn continue to struggle and much more
“But the question remains: Will this be a one-off, or did Kentucky fix some of its central problems?
It all depends on whether John Calipari makes the necessary personnel changes.
Sahvir Wheeler's absence marked one of the game's most significant storylines. For just the fourth time this season, the senior point guard was not in the starting lineup, as a shoulder injury sidelined him. With Wheeler unable to go, CJ Fredrick and Antonio Reeves capitalized on their increased opportunities. Fredrick logged a season-high in minutes (37) and hit multiple 3-pointers (three) against a Power 5 opponent for the first time this season.
Reeves, meanwhile, posted his second-highest minutes total and fifth-highest usage rate; his perimeter scoring was especially helpful on a day when Cason Wallace scored zero points.
It also opened up the floor for Oscar Tshiebwe — a striking contrast to when the senior big shares the floor Wheeler. Tshiebwe’s 15 points marked the first time in three tries that he scored more than 13 against Tennessee.
The win, for the time being, has given Kentucky some hope. But to sustain the momentum, Cal needs his A-game in rotation management going forward.”

Ball State
Muncie Star Press: 'Great crowd' fuels strong play from Ball State underclassmen against rival Miami (Ohio)
“Sophomore guard Jaylin Sellers, in particular, seemed energized by the fans. His confidence bloomed from the opening tip as he led the Cardinals with 11 points on 5-of-7 shooting in the first half, offering a team-best plus-19-point advantage in his 17 minutes.
Lewis called the Columbus, Georgia, native a "competitor" whom he loves, and is confident he'll continue improving against opponents' best efforts to stop him. “He's going to be a really good college basketball player. There's some growth opportunities, and you have to struggle to really do that ... He's learning and growing, and I'm glad he's here. I'd much rather coach him through him becoming a better player than have to try and stop him."

NJ.com: Rutgers lands 5-star forward Ace Bailey — highest-ranked hoops recruit in program history
“Airious “Ace” Bailey, a five-star, top-10 player in the class of 2024, committed to the Scarlet Knightson Sunday, a person with knowledge of the promise told NJ Advance Media. Sixth nationally in the 247Sports Composite rankings, the Georgia native is the highest-ranked recruit to commit to Rutgers…
Listed at 6-foot-10 and 185 pounds, Bailey visited Rutgers three times in the past year. He was in attendance for Sunday’s overtime victory over Ohio State at Jersey Mike’s Arena, committing to the staff in the locker room following the contest.
Bailey first attended campus on an unofficial visit in June with his Athletes Of Tomorrow AAU program — where he is teammates with class of 2023 commit Jamichael Davis — before taking an official visit in September.”
