Explosive runs allow Kentucky to survive physical game against Vanderbilt

The second meeting between Kentucky and Vanderbilt will not go down as one of the best in the SEC this season. With 43 total fouls, 28 total turnovers, 56 total free throws, a pair of technicals, and some flagrant fouls, both teams crawled across the finish line.

After 40 minutes of game action that lasted nearly 2.5 hours, Kentucky walked away from Rupp Arena with a 77-70 win to improve to 7-2 in league play at the halfway point.

The Wildcats have won 12 in a row over the Commodores, and Jerry Stackhouse has yet to beat John Calipari.
