January 30th – February 4th

Let’s just be honest about it, we are going to be interested in just about every game Kentucky is involved in because it is going to be must see TV.

They have the No.2 recruting class in the country and the two of the Top Five players in the nation in Skal Labissiere and Jamal Murray, not to mention what they are bringing back from last season in Alex Poythress and Marcus Lee.

The chances that Kentucky goes through conference play undefeated in 2016 have gotten a little bit tougher, but there is still an opportunity nonetheless.

On Tuesday February 2nd, they will go on a little trip to Knoxville to take on Rick Barnes’ Volunteers which should be a notch on their belt.

But you never know, sometimes home teams can get that extra boost of energy that may aid them in pulling off an improbable upset.

Kentucky at Tennessee can be seen on February 2nd on ESPNU/SEC Network at 9 PM ET.

Another game that could be interesting is Arkansas at Florida on February 3rd at 7PM ET on SEC Network.

This game will matchup new Florida Gators head coach Mike White’s bunch against coach Mike Anderson and the Razorbacks ” 40 Minutes of Hell”.

This should obviously be an uptempo game and possibly high scoring if people are hitting their shots.

6-foot-8 Florida swingman Devin Robinson is projected to be a late first-round to early second round draft pick by some, and Gators’ forward Dorian Finney-Smith’s name has also popped up on a few Mock Drafts in the Second Round as well.

Plus, it is going to be interesting to see how life is for Arkansas without Michael Qualls and Bobby Portis who are now both with in the NBA with the Oklahoma City Thunder and Chicago Bulls respectively.
