Ravi Moss and Randolph Morris to start on Saturday

Kentucky Coach Tubby Smith has made changes to the starting line-up for Saturday's game against Alabama.

Ravi Moss and Randolph Morris will start.

Morris, who played for the first time this season in Tuesday’s loss to Vanderbilt, can give UK a low-post scoring threat.

"We’ll start him on Saturday because he’s a real force inside," Smith said on the Southeastern Conference coaches’ teleconference today. "He needs to get more touches, and that’s an area we’ve struggled with all year long. But he’ll command the ball."

Moss scored 14 of his 16 points in the second half against Vanderbilt.
Smith noted that Moss had proven himself as one of UK’s more reliable outside shooters. He made four of eight three-point attempts, improving his accuracy from beyond the arc this season to 39.2 percent (20 of 51). He was Kentucky’s most accurate three-point shooter last season (38.6 percent) and in 2003-04 (47.4 percent).

In his career, Moss has made 51 of 129 three-point shots (39.5 percent).

Rekalin Sims is likely to not play on Saturday to due pain in his back.
