Earlier today, Joel Justus, Ashton Hagans, and Nate Sestina met with reporters to preview tomorrow night’s game vs. Vanderbilt. Here are five things they said that stood out to me.
1. Vanderbilt is bad, but Kentucky can’t afford to look ahead
To say that Vanderbilt is struggling right now is an understatement. The Commodores are riding a seven-game losing streak and have lost their last 24 league games, which ties an SEC record. On top of that, the three-point streak was snapped and star sophomore Aaron Nesmith is likely out for the rest of the season. Regardless, after losing to teams like Evansville, Kentucky’s players know they can’t afford to look ahead to Saturday’s big game at Auburn.
