The second game in three days for the Kentucky Wildcats, as the Vermont Catamounts come to Rupp Arena for their first real game of the season. Today’s match up between Vermont and Kentucky will be the first ever match up between the two schools. While a lot of these early games against smaller schools usually have a big discrepancy in overall talent level, the Catamounts are no roll over team.
Last season, coach John Becker was a finalist for the Jim Phelan National Coach of the Year, and for good reason. The Catamounts finished with an overall record of 29-6, including going an undefeated 16-0 in the America East conference.
