Missouri isn’t an SEC juggernaut this season — hence why Kentucky is a double-digit favorite, despite coming off a blowout loss at Alabama with the Tigers coming off a win over Florida. Coached by Dennis Gates, they’re sitting at 11-3 on the year with no bad losses, but ranked just No. 79 in scoring offense and No. 136 in scoring defense, No. 153 in rebounding average, No. 176 in forced turnovers and No. 310 in 3-point defense. The only major positive, as far as numbers go, would be their 51.4 percent hit rate from the field, good for No.
Kentucky's key to a win vs. Mizzou? 'Fight the entire game.'
