SEC play kicks off for the Kentucky Wildcats on Wednesday as they hit the road to face a Missouri team that has transformed into one of the fastest teams in the country this season.
Kentucky Wildcats (2.5, 152.5) vs. Missouri Tigers
Missouri ranks 14th in the country in possessions per game with five different players at least 10 points per game for an offense that ranks second in the country in points scored on a per possession basis.
While Missouri's offense has been significantly better under first-year coach Dennis Gates, they have the issue of matching up with reigning Wooden Award winner Oscar Tshiebwe, who is averaging 15 points, 13 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks per game.
