Meh. IMO tonight is the biggest test. UT is not on our level talent wise. if we stay within ourselves and play our game there, we should win by 20. Mizzou however will be tough as nails tonight, and I full expect a loss if we don't bring our A game

UT is not the same team as they were last year, when they handled us with ease. Losing Maymon was a big blow to them and Patric is much improved this year. If I remember correctly, those Maymon and Stokes frustrated the hell out of him and he played poorly. We also have more outside shooting this year. Last year, we were really dependent on Walker and Boynton and if they were cold, we were in trouble.

I'd be suprised if we lost there, but 20 might be pushing it, unless Golden has a terrible game and turns it over 7 or 8 times, which I admit is possible.

I expect Missouri to play very well tonight, there will be 15K plus and it will be the toughest road environment for us this season. I know Rupp has more, but depending on where UK is at performance wise, that crowd may be dispirited. That will not be the case tonight.

So...this IS our toughest remaining season test?

Without a doubt.

UK may have been until the loss of Noel.

The other games are either at home or against teams that have significant weaknesses.

I expected Missouri to be a national title contender this season. They have 5 players who all look like they have NBA-type talent. They haven't played up to their talent level. This will be a tough, tough game tonight.

slowing down keion bell will be a huge challenge
