The Kentucky Wildcats were able to get a crucial Quad 1 victory over the Mississippi State Bulldogs on Wednesday night.
However, they were once again shorthanded in the backcourt with Sahvir Wheeler and CJ Fredrick both out. This was Wheeler’s third straight missed game and Fredrick’s second.
On Saturday, the Tennessee Volunteers will be coming into Rupp Arena, another massive opportunity for the Cats to build on their NCAA Tournament resume.
After the win Wednesday night, John Calipari said he hopes to have both guards back for Saturday’s matchup.
“I hope Saturday,” Calipari said of when Fredrick and Wheeler could return from injury.
