Locked On Kentucky - Daily Podcast On Kentucky Wildcats Football & Basketball

Kentucky football might have a much better chance of beating Oklahoma than the oddsmakers think. After predicting a 17-13 Sooners victory, I get challenged on this pick by someone who believes the Wildcats should WIN in Norman. On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe is joined by Paul Novielli of the Bleed Blue Network to debate Kentucky vs Oklahoma and whether the Wildcats are being underestimated heading into Saturday's SEC showdown.Paul makes his case for a Kentucky victory, pointing to Oklahoma's struggling offense, the Wildcats' explosive offensive production, and the difference between the Sooners' defensive reputation and their actual matchups. The two discuss quarterback play, Oklahoma's offensive-line injuries, Kentucky's success against LSU and Texas A&M, and whether the betting line is giving the Sooners too much credit.Plus, what would another ranked SEC victory mean for Kentucky's College Football Playoff hopes? And with basketball season approaching, Lance and Paul discuss Mark Pope's roster, the Wildcats' offensive potential, and expectations for the 2026-27 season. Did Paul change Lance's mind about Kentucky vs Oklahoma?Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!KALSHIFor a limited time, Download Kalshi and use code Locked On to get $25 when you trade $25. Kalshi.

Kentucky basketball keeps landing in the same range across the preseason projections. The SEC media picked the Wildcats seventh, Torvik has them seventh and KenPom has them ninth - but the actual numbers suggest there may be very little separating Kentucky from several of the teams ahead of them. On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe breaks down the preseason SEC projections and asks whether Kentucky basketball is actually being underrated - or whether the league is simply that deep. Lance looks at KenPom, Torvik and the SEC media poll, why Kentucky’s defensive uncertainty matters, and the fascinating fact that the Wildcats are favored in 18 of their first 21 games despite their modest preseason ranking. Then, Lance introduces 7-foot-5 Kentucky recruiting target Cherif Millogo following his surprise official visit to Lexington. What makes Millogo such an intriguing 2027 prospect, what does his game look like beyond the obvious size, and how could new Kentucky assistant Alfred Aboya factor into the Wildcats’ international recruiting efforts? Finally, Lance discusses why Ousmane N’Diaye may be one of the biggest X-factors on Mark Pope’s roster. After generating buzz at Kentucky’s Pro Day, could the seven-footer be the type of player who dramatically raises Kentucky’s ceiling? Lance also shares the latest positive health updates on Kam Williams and Trent Noah.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!KALSHIFor a limited time, Download Kalshi and use code Locked On to get $25 when you trade $25. Kalshi.
