Game Day : #25 Ole Miss vs #3 Kentucky Wildcats

Today the #3 Kentucky Wildcats (20-1) vs #25 Ole Miss Rebels (16-5) in Lexington, Kentucky at Rupp Arena. You can find the game on ESPN and ESPN360.com. If the Cats play like they did Saturday vs Vanderbilt, the winning margin and outcome of that game will probably be the same. Reginald Buckner, the most physical player for Ole Miss will be out tonight. Look out though for Murphy Holloway who had 19 points and 19 rebounds in their last game vs Arkansas on Sunday. Those are some DeMarcus Cousins numbers. Ole Miss also has a very deep back court with all four guards(Chris Warren, Terrico White, Eniel Polynice, and Zach Graham) all scoring double figures. White is a 3-point sharpshooter and Warren has been compared to Devan Downey. Will need to contain their backcourt for sure.

John Calipari On Ole Miss...

"Very good. When you talk about (Chris) Warren and (Terrico) White, you are talking about two of the best guards in the country. They're inside people are active, block shots and they are physical. This is an athletic team that tries to break you down on the bounce. They shoot three's and they shoot them well. They are a top-20 team. I just watched the (Ole Miss vs.) Arkansas. When I watched the tape, I thought they (Ole Miss) were up 15 because there was not a score on the tape I got. All of the sudden, Arkansas was up three. If you would have watched the game you would have said there was no way they lost that game. They are a good team."

DeAndre Liggins On what he has heard about Ole Miss ...

"I have heard they are pretty athletic and they will take it to you off the pick and roll. They have Chris Warren back and are very athletic and we have to do a good job of guarding them and come up with a game plan"
