Kentucky's top assignment: Don't let Gage Lattimore get hot

Ranked No. 350 in KenPom, NC Central will not bring a loaded roster into Rupp Arena tonight, but there is one name everyone will need to watch closely. Gage Lattimore averages 19.5 points per game and shoots 44.9 percent from deep, which means he might be the best three-point shooter in the building.

Only a sophomore, Lattimore, who played Division II last season, has already made 35 threes this season, which are the 11th most in the country. And he rarely comes off the floor, averaging 36.5 minutes per game in the Eagles’ backcourt.
