If you only look at the standings, tonight’s matchup with the Longhorns might look like a breeze. Texas is 11-7 overall and sitting at 2-3 in the SEC, coming off a home loss to its rival, Texas A&M.
But Mark Pope and Kentucky basketball aren't looking at the standings. They are looking at the tape, and what he sees is a team that went on the road and beat Alabama and took care of Vandy at home.
"Man, this Texas team is potent offensively. My goodness, they just have weapons everywhere," Pope said, previewing the game.
