CBS Sports Classic: Ohio State v Kentucky

It feels like it has been forever since the Cats took the court in a disappointing loss to Ohio State, and still it is two more days until they take on Brown. Let’s have a little fun and assign a Disney character to each Kentucky basketball player.

Otega Oweh (G) – Simba (The Lion King)

Oweh’s leadership and ability to rise to the occasion make him a natural Simba. Like the young lion, Oweh embodies a fearless spirit and delivers in clutch moments. His 16 points a game and versatility show he’s ready to lead the pride.

Lamont Butler (G) – Dash Parr (The Incredibles)

Lamont Butler’s speed and precision on the court make him a perfect Dash. His quick decision-making and ability to rack up 14 points and 4 assists per game mirror Dash’s knack for zipping through any challenge the defense can throw at him.

Jaxson Robinson (G) – Flynn Rider (Tangled)

With his crafty moves and confident shooting, Robinson channels Flynn’s charm and knack for making things happen on the court. His 12 points per game and ability to find creative ways to score reflect Flynn’s resourcefulness. We need to see his percentages rise up in SEC play, but like Flynn Im sure he will find a way.

Koby Brea (G) – Mickey Mouse

Brea’s sharpshooting (50.7% from three!) and positive energy bring to mind the iconic legend himself, Mickey Mouse. Just as Mickey is the heart of Disney, Brea’s reliability and efficiency make him central to Kentucky’s success and they play better with him on the floor.

Andrew Carr (F) – Hercules (Hercules)

Carr’s strength on the boards (6.3 rebounds per game) and scoring prowess make him Hercules. He’s a workhorse who can carry the load, combining power with finesse. He will keep fighting no matter what is in front of him.

Amari Williams (C) – Baymax (Big Hero 6)

Amari Williams’ 9 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game make him Kentucky’s Baymax—always there to protect the rim and provide support to people in need. He’s a reliable presence on the court, much like Baymax is for his team in a movie that you have to see if you haven’t.

Brandon Garrison (F) – Wall-E (Wall-E)

Garrison’s steady performance and hard working nature (5.5 points, 5.1 rebounds) makes him a perfect Wall-E, a laid-back yet dependable force. He keeps working even if the cause seems lost, and through that work, everyone wins.

Ansley Almonor (F) – Peter Pan (Peter Pan)

Almonor’s spark off the bench, shooting efficiency (47.6%), and high free-throw percentage (84.6%) make him Kentucky’s Peter Pan—small but impactful, sprinkling magic whenever it is needed.

Kerr Kriisa (G) – Olaf (Frozen)

Kriisa’s team-oriented mindset, doing whatever is needed, and upbeat personality align perfectly with Olaf (with an edge). He brings joy and cohesion, making everyone around him better.

Collin Chandler (G) – Jiminy Cricket (Pinocchio)

Though not a primary scorer, Chandler’s consistency and his missions around the world make him Kentucky’s moral compass—reliable and steady, like Jiminy Cricket.

Trent Noah (F) – Pumbaa (The Lion King)

Noah’s constant motor, effort, and scrappiness on the court bring to mind Pumbaa’s loyalty and unrelenting spirit. He’s a role player who does the dirty work without hesitation when he is called on.

Travis Perry (G) – Chip (Beauty and the Beast)

Perry’s youthful energy and potential make him Chip. While still developing his game, his confidence and charm hint at a bright future and BBN loves when he hits the floor.

Walker Horn (G) – Pascal (Tangled)

Horn doesn’t play many minutes, but like Pascal, he’s a supportive presence on the bench, cheering on teammates always happy to see everyone succeed while working hard himself.

Mark Pope– Captain America

This squad’s diverse talents come together to form an unstoppable force, just like Earth’s mightiest heroes, they needed someone to lead them. With each player filling a unique role, they’re ready to take on the SEC and Pope makes sure they stay positive and motivated.

And there we have it, what do you think?
