It’s going to be an interesting one tonight in Lexington, Kentucky set to host the North Carolina Central Eagles, ranked No. 350 in KenPom with a 3-8 record on the year. The Wildcats are coming off a 35-point loss to Gonzaga with the boo birds out in full force at Bridgestone Arena, Big Blue Nation desperate to see this team win against name-brand competition.
That’s not happening tonight, unfortunately, but a feel-good response should be on the table before Indiana comes to Rupp Arena on Saturday. What can Mark Pope’s group do to make you feel better going into that one, if anything?
