Following emotional senior recognitions Tuesday night, including the engagement proposal by Derek Willis to his girlfriend Keely Potts, the Kentucky Wildcats faced yet another slow start against the visiting Vanderbilt Commodores.
Kentucky found themselves down by as many as 19 yet rallied in the second half for the biggest comeback win in the Calipari era, 73-67. The previous largest comeback was 18 points in 2009 over Miami of Ohio. Kentucky recognized Willis, Dominique Hawkins and Mychal Mulder before tip-off of the last home game they’d ever play.
