Kentucky's C Jayden Quaintance will be sidelined vs. LSU, adding to the team's injury woes. Quaintance, who made his debut in December, has been dealing with knee swelling after a surgical repair this offseason. This will be the second straight game he misses. The team's head coach, Mark Pope, has mentioned that Quaintance's recovery will be a 'start or stop' process. The Cats are also without point guard Jaland Lowe, who is undergoing season-ending shoulder surgery. The team is making lineup changes, with Kam Williams and Andrija Jelavic set to start at LSU. However, LSU is also facing injuries, with point guard Dedan Thomas listed as 'doubtful' due to a lower leg injury. The game between Kentucky and LSU is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. ET on SEC Network. Fans can also follow along on the KSR LIVE BLOG and join the conversation on KSBoard. But here's where it gets controversial: while both teams are dealing with injuries, the impact on their lineups and game strategies could be significantly different. Will Kentucky's lineup changes pay off? And will LSU's Dedan Thomas be able to play despite his injury? These questions and more will be answered on the court. So, who do you think will come out on top? Let us know in the comments!
