Welcome to the grind of Southeastern Conference play. Throughout the rest of January the Kentucky Wildcats settle into their Tuesday/Saturday schedule with a total of nine league games this month. The journey begins on Tuesday night against the LSU Tigers at Rupp Arena. LSU comes to Lexington with a 12-1 overall record and a 1-0 start in the SEC after last week’s impressive win over Arkansas. The Tigers are now the first team outside of the AP Top 25 in the receiving votes category after their excellent start.
Coach Matt McMahon went 31-3 last season at Murray State and made the second round of the NCAA Tournament before falling to Saint Peter’s.
