Summary

Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving, Big Blue Nation! Kentucky is coming off back-to-back wins over Loyola (Md.) and Tennessee Tech — impressive efforts for the Wildcats leading to massive blowouts — but all eyes are on the week ahead with a pair of ranked opportunities waiting after a disappointing start to the year in such matchups at Louisville and in the Champions Classic vs. Michigan State. What went well for the Cats against the Greyhounds and Golden Eagles? Is any of it sustainable, especially with the new-look starting lineup featuring Kam Williams and Malachi Moreno? Will Otega Oweh be able to step up on the big stage for the first time this season? How do you shut down former UK target Caleb Wilson? Special thanks to today’s Sources Say sponsors, LG&E and KU, SeatGeek and Monticello Bank! LG&E and KU knows that when the lights go out, it can feel like a full-court press.
