The Kentucky Wildcats will take on the Missouri Tigers in an opening SEC matchup. The Wildcats have won four of their last five games while the Tigers have won four of their last five as well, including two in a row. Kentucky is putting up 78.7 points a game giving up 64.4 points. Missouri's defense has not been all that great this season, allowing 74.7 points a game. Missouri likes to play at a fast pace and is fourth in scoring. They have to be to make up for their inefficient defense. They may struggle in this one as Kentucky has a physical front court which should allow them to control the boards and keep Missouri from getting out quickly.I like Kentucky's defense to at least slow Missouri down and the Tigers will struggle to contain the big men of Kentucky in the paint.

Play on Kentucky.
