“We’re focused on Kentucky, going into a tough environment against a team that’s playing well. But I’m confident in my group that we can go in there and get another one.”
Vanderbilt head coach Jerry Stackhouse called his shot following his team’s win vs. Florida on Saturday. The Commodores had won six of their last seven games and were playing as well as anyone in the SEC at that point, neck-and-neck with Kentucky. No, they hadn’t beaten the Wildcats in 14 consecutive matchups, eight for Stackhouse in particular. Yes, John Calipari was 25-4 against Vanderbilt with zero losses inside Rupp Arena during his time in Lexington.
