Reed Sheppard and Rob Dillingham are on the rise for Kentucky basketball

Kentucky basketball has one of the deepest backcourts in the country this season, and having Rob Dillingham and Reed Sheppard coming off of the bench is extremely valuable.

On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe discusses Dillingham and Sheppard and shares his thoughts on whether or not adjustments should be made to Kentucky's rotation because of how good they are. Sheppard and Dillingham may honestly work best coming off of the bench, and their individual strengths - as elite as they are - may be better served off of that bench with DJ Wagner and Antonio Reeves taking the charge.

Aaron Bradshaw isn't going to be available for the big game against Kansas basketball next week... and neither are Ugonna Onyenso or Zvonimir Ivisic. What does this mean for Kentucky? If they win or lose the Kansas game, how should we react? Can UK lean on their guard play?

Finally, Lance takes a look at the updated KenPom ratings and Bracketology.
