What a huge game for both teams down the stretch. Even though the Wildcats will not have Noel, I think this is going to be a tough battle for the Tigers (who are finally healthy and playing their best basketball of the year). Kentucky still has a lot of talent and it will be interesting to see if Missouri can weather the storm playing in Rupp Arena. Wish I was making the trip! Kentucky is playing for SEC Tournament seeding and looking for their first top 50 win of the year in front of a hostile crowd. I think Kentucky wins this game 73-70. Missouri has just not shown they can close out tight games on the road. Should be interesting!

You make some solid points but you have to remember that we have lost to Baylor and Texas A&M at home this year...with Nerlins Noel! Now I do think we will play better with our backs to the wall but to me, right now, Mizzou is the second best team in the SEC so this should be a good game although I would certainly pick us to lose if this were in Columbia.

UK just hasn't looked the same to me after losing Noel. Missouri wins by 10.

This game could really catapult Missouri. They are playing very solid basketball right now and a win vs. Florida and at Rupp in the same week would do wonders for their tourney seeding.

MIZ! Tigers win considering UK doesn't have Noel. Oriakhi and our size/depth will take over.  |

You have to remember that Kentucky will also be fighting for their tournament lives tomorrow. Great atmosphere at Rupp will trump that of anything Missouri has seen thus far although at this point in the season, Missouri is the better team.

Rupp will be rocking for sure. I have looked forward to playing Missouri ever since the schedules were announced.

Kentucky will win. Missouri just can not win on the dreaded road.
