I see MU just beat Kentucky, what turned them around so quick? Will be a tough game coming up.

Agree will be tough. But Kentucky honestly isn't that good. We are higher than UK in the NET. They have 4 losses. Best win is over a very mediocre Michigan team by 4.
Kentucky's second best win all season is Yale, and even if they win their next two vs Louisville and LSU, it's still Yale.
Crazy.

Why is Arkansas ranked so high? Their best win is San Diego State

Luckily this stupid challenge is ending this year. That will be an extremely tough game and that's the last thing we need right in the middle of a grueling Big 12 season.

Mizzou might be solid. I watched the Illini game and the Tigers destroyed them.

This is what makes early conference games tough. There are a lot of paper lions out there who have played weak schedules. There are also teams that have been solid last 2-3 years, but have played no one and still living off past glory.

I can understand that view, I've seen it posted many times. But I don't share it, for the most part. It's like having 19 conference games instead of 18.
I don't particularly care for the timing of the game, but if it's going to be there, it is far better to be against a well regarded team so that a win helps and a loss doesn't hurt all that much.

Kentucky was very undisciplined. Mizzou scored several fast break baskets off of made shots. I think our defense will be ready for that and get back. If we keep it to a half court game, this one's winnable.
