Jimmy Dykes joined the Kentucky Daily podcast to preview Kentucky’s opening week of the college basketball season.

Outside of the Kentucky coaching staff, no one has had more looks at John Calipari’s 2020-21 team during the preseason than Dykes.

The ESPN analyst has been in Lexington on multiple occasions to watch practice and cover UK Pro Day and Big Blue Madness for the SEC Network.

Dykes joined the show Monday to discuss what Kentucky fans should expect to see this week and as the season progresses.

The following topics were discussed:

  • College basketball tip-off week
  • Isaiah Jackson earning praise
  • Kentucky’s defensive potential
  • Will Kentucky make enough perimeter shots this season?
  • Kentucky’s point guard duo of Devin Askew and Davion Mintz
  • What area should make fans cautious?
  • Expectations for the SEC
  • Women’s basketball discussion
