Kentucky beats Vanderbilt: 4 things to know and postgame banter

The Kentucky Wildcats beat the Vanderbilt Commodores in Lexington on Tuesday night by a score of 77-70.

Despite getting off to a very slow, sloppy start, it was only a matter of time before you knew UK was going to hit their stride. While the game was close for the majority of the first half, a big 17-2 run by the Cats led to a 41-31 halftime lead.

After the break, it got sloppy...really sloppy. Both teams got chippy, there were three flagrant fouls, Jerry Stackhouse got a technical (after Calipari got one in the first half), and Kentucky’s two best players were in foul trouble.
