After three straight wins, Kentucky Basketball is moving in the right direction. Saturday’s game vs. No. 9 Kansas in Rupp Arena looms large, but first, the Cats must survive what could be a tricky night in Nashville.
At 8 p.m. local time, 9 p.m. ET, Kentucky (13-6, 4-3 SEC) plays Vanderbilt (10-9, 3-3 SEC) in the always weird Memorial Gym. The Commodores’ 3-3 record in conference play is a little deceptive. They’ve only lost to teams that were ranked at the time (at No. 20 Missouri, at No. 5 Tennessee, and vs. No. 4 Alabama) and have wins over then-No.
