00:00A. C. C. S. E. C. Challenge. John, that highlights what we have around the country tonight on
00:08this Tuesday night slate and we head to Clemson, South Carolina, Kentucky now into the top
00:15five number four in the country, but both the cats and the Tigers of Clemson rank in
00:20the top 20 of the net rankings that were unveiled for the first time this season.
00:26Clemson checks in at number eight, Kentucky or 18, excuse me, Kentucky at number eight.
00:31You can see the spread for tonight, John, expected to be a tough test in Clemson, South
00:36Carolina.
00:37What's the key matchup of tonight's game in your opinion?
00:39Well, I am just curious to see first how Kentucky is going to respond in a road type environment.
00:45This is the first true road game for the Wildcats under Mark Pope and how much will Kentucky's
00:52balance translate on the road?
00:55I mean, Ben, think about this for a second.
00:57Kentucky enters tonight's game with six different players averaging in double figures.
01:03Clemson much more methodical.
01:04I think the key to the game for Clemson is going to be a player who really, really broke
01:09out during last week's Sunshine Slam at Daytona Beach.
01:12That's Ian Sheflin.
01:14He graduated from glue guy status last week.
01:17He averaged 1813, a couple of assists during the event last year.
01:21This was an ancillary piece next to Jay Hall in Clemson's frontcourt.
01:25Now with Sheflin, with Chase Hunter, with Jaden Zachary, a transfer from Boston College,
01:31Clemson looks to be in position to be in position to return to the NCAA tournament in 2025.
