Kentucky WBB takes on Wofford, the projected top team in the SoCon
Preview: Kentucky WBB looks to extend their incredible win streak on the road at the SoCon's top team, Wofford.
The Kentucky Wildcats Women's Basketball team will be traveling to Spartanburg, South Carolina to face off against the Wofford Terriers tonight at 7:00 PM ET. The Wildcats are currently on a nine-game winning streak after defeating the Eastern Kentucky Colonels in their last matchup. The Terriers are coming off of a win against the Furman Paladins and are predicted to be the top team in the Southern Conference this season.
Kentucky will need to play their best game in order to defeat Wofford. The Terriers are a very talented team, with four players averaging double figures in scoring. Kentucky will need to be able to contain Wofford's offense and force them into turnovers in order to win the game.
The Wildcats have a lot of experience playing on the road this season, having already played four games away from home. The Terriers, on the other hand, have only played two home games this season. This could give Kentucky an advantage in this matchup.
The game will be available to watch on ESPN+.
Here are some key things to watch for in tonight's game:
* The battle in the paint. Both Kentucky and Wofford have talented post players, so this matchup will be key.
* The play of Rhyne Howard. Howard is Kentucky's leading scorer and is one of the best players in the country. She will need to have a big game for Kentucky to win.
* The three-point shooting. Both teams can shoot the three-pointer well, so this could be a factor in the game.
* The turnovers. Wofford is one of the top teams in the country in forcing turnovers. Kentucky will need to be careful with the ball if they want to win the game.
The game is expected to be a close one. Kentucky is a slight favorite, but Wofford is a very talented team. The Wildcats will need to play their best game in order to win.
