Quote of Note

Darius Miller

“It would probably turn around (LSU's) season. I am pretty sure that they are trying to win the game just as much as anybody else. We are going to have to be prepared.” - on what a win would mean to LSU

Pre Game Notes

***Due to time constraints, there is not a "Cal's Keys to the Game" for today. The feature will return on Tuesday for the Alabama game.***

Some pre-game numbers from our Live Blog stat specialist, The Dreamweaver:

• UK is 24-5 all time on Feb. 6 and. . .

. . . 68-18 all time as No. 4-ranked team

. . . 6-0 all time as No. 4 team vs. LSU

. . . 78-24 all time vs. LSU and 27-16 in Baton Rouge

• Patrick Patterson is now #26 on the UK all time scoring leaderboard, he needs 7 points to pass Mike Pratt for No. 25.

• Dreamweaver's Crazy Stats of the Day:

- Patrick Patterson is shooting 60.8 percent from the floor this season, placing him 3rd all time on the shooting percentage list for Juniors at UK. Marquis Estill and Melvin Turpin have slightly higher percentages.

- DeMarcus Cousins and John Wall are 32 freethrows away from scoring the most freethrows as a freshman in UK history. They both have 99 scored. Sam Bowie sits at 110 for his freshman year (34 games) and Dwight Anderson sits at the top with 131 (29 games).

- Deandre Liggins currently is #1 all time in 3-point field goal percentage for a sophomore as he is 7 of 12, (minimum to qualify is 12 3s attempted)

• LSU will retire the shirt of Tiger All-American Rudy Macklin of Louisville, at halftime of today's game. Former LSU coach, Dale Brown is expected to be in attendance. Macklin was a Tiger from 1976-81 and is the school's second all-time leading scorer.

• Really, the biggest fear of the UK coaching staff is that LSU's Tasmin Mitchell has one of his "Tasmin days," similar to the way Devan Downey did at South Carolina.

• Coach Rod Strickland hit the traditional end-of-shootaround halfcourt shot.

• Let's all send our best wishes to Coach Orlando Antigua who ruptured the Achilles tendon in his righ tfoot on Thursday night. He was unable to travel to today's game and will have surgery on Wednesday.
