KEY GAME INFORMATION
KENTUCKY: The Wildcats made it all the way to the national title game last season, and bring back a ton of the talent from that team. It will start with the Harrison twins, as SG Aaron (13.7 PPG, 3.0 RPG, 36% threes) and PG Andrew (10.9 PPG, 4.0 APG, 3.2 RPG) both improved greatly throughout the season, and are both tough to guard at 6-foot-6. While their shooting has improved, the duo is at its best when driving to the basket. In the frontcourt, C Willie Cauley-Stein (6.8 PPG, 6.1 RPG, 2.9 BPG) is back after injuring his foot in the NCAA Tournament last year. He is still raw on the offensive end, but the 7-footer can change a game on the defensive end with his shot blocking. Joining him in this formidable frontcourt is 6-foot-8 PF Alex Poythress (5.9 PPG, 4.5 RPG in 18.4 MPG), 6-foot-9 PF Marcus Lee (2.4 PPG, 1.4 RPG, 62% FG) and fellow 7-footer C Dakari Johnson (5.2 PPG, 3.9 RPG, 57% FG), who all comprise what should be the best rebounding team in the country. Combining that experience with the highly-recruited freshmen talent of PF Karl-Anthony Towns, PF Trey Lyles and PG Tyler Ulis, and you have the makings of a national championship team.

*Montana St.-Kentucky Preview* ==============================

By JACK CASSIDY STATS Writer

Montana State (0-3) at Kentucky (4-0), 6:00 p.m. EDT

Kentucky's dominance through the season's first week leaves little doubt about the Wildcats' legitimacy.

The top-ranked Wildcats look to post another convincing victory Sunday against winless Montana State.

John Calipari, touting perhaps his deepest roster since arriving in Lexington in 2009, has employed his "platoon" system to the tune of four convincing wins in four opportunities thus far. The Wildcats rolled past Boston University 89-65 on Friday, three days after dismantling No. 5 Kansas 72-40 in the Champions Classic.

The Terriers held tight with Kentucky (4-0) into the second half, trailing by only three points with under 15 minutes remaining before eventually pulling away. Following the win over Kansas, the Wildcats slow start Friday was exactly what Calipari expected.

"These guys are not computers, they're not machines, they're human beings, and I expected a letdown," Calipari said. "I was hoping it wasn't too bad.

"But again, here's the good stuff: You shoot 58 percent, you have 24 assists and 13 turnovers, you win by 24 and we're all upset. So it probably means we're not bad."

Aaron Harrison led the way with 19 points, and Devin Booker contributed 15 points, seven assists and four rebounds. All 10 members of Kentucky's platoon system scored.

"We all expect this team to be world beaters every night out, and let me say, folks, they're not going to be," Calipari said. "There are games I'm going to have to drag them across the finish line. They're normal 19, 18, 20-year-old kids."

Kentucky blocked nine shots and forced Boston to shoot 38.5 percent from the field.

That defensive pressure stands as a focal point for this Kentucky team. The Wildcats have limited opponents to 30.7 percent shooting, no opponent has shot 40 percent, they've forced 17.8 turnovers per game and are averaging 9.3 blocks.

The 6-foot-11 Karl-Anthony Towns leads Kentucky with 12, while seven-footer Willie Cauley-Stein and Dakari Johnson have combined for 13.

The Wildcats have outscored their opponents by 28.8 points per game and outrebounded them by 15.0 per contest, but most impressive may be that the team has averaged only 11.5 turnovers.

Still, in spite of the eye-popping numbers, Calipari knows his team is nowhere near ready for March.

"The Kansas game on defense, we looked like a January team," Calipari said. "On offense, we looked like a November team. Today we looked like November. And it's what you have."

Kentucky has never faced Montana State (0-3), which is looking for its first win this season. The Bobcats dropped contests to UCLA, Grand Canyon and, most recently, Cal State Northridge 72-65 on Wednesday.

Montana State is shooting 39.2 percent and committing 20.3 turnovers per game. They've allowed opponents to shoot 51.2 percent from the field and average 82.0 points.
