Kentucky basketball vs LSU Tigers: 3 keys to the game, TV/ radio, prediction
By Drew Koch
3. UK needs a bounce back game from Kevin Knox
I know this was part of our 3 keys to the game against Georgia, but Kevin Knox must return to form against LSU. Knox is Kentucky’s most complete player. Gilgeous-Alexander has been amazing the past two games and Hamidou Diallo has emerged as a potential lottery-pick in next year’s NBA Draft. That being said, this year’s Kentucky basketball team will not go far without Knox performing up to his abilities.
In the last two games, Knox has a combined 15 points on 4-of-18 (22%) shooting, including 1-of-7 (14%) from behind the arc. Knox had 15 or more points in 7 of the 13 games he’s played this season. The Tigers are 29th in the nation is points per game, so the Cats will need a big game from Knox in order to pull out the victory.
