2. The Texas A&M frontcourt could cause problems for the Cats

The Kentucky basketball team needs a solid game from their bigs. Texas A&M has a solid frontcourt with juniors Tyler Davis and DJ Hogg. Both average over 14 points per game and the Aggies as a whole are dynamite on the boards, grabbing over 44 rebounds per game.

Nick Richards finally flashed what Big Blule Nation has been wanting to see. Against the Tennessee Volunteers, Richards played 24 minutes, the most since UK’s loss to UCLA. He scored 9 points and grabbed 8 rebounds. The Wildcats have shown a propensity to go with a smaller line up lately, but John Calipari needs Richards and Sacha Killeya-Jones to be a steady presence on the court Tuesday night.
