(Matt Bush-USA TODAY Sports)The Cats are fresh off a bludgeoning delivered by Tennessee and they’ll be heading out on the road for the final time this season. Awaiting them is a team that should be NCAA Tournament bound and could potentially be UK’s Friday opponent next week at the SEC Tournament in Nashville.
Under first year head coach Kermit Davis, the Rebels have easily exceeded expectations. Ole Miss is set to record a 20-win season and just their ninth NCAA Tournament bid in program history. The guard oriented lineup will present some unique challenges for a Kentucky team that will likely be playing without Reid Travis for the fourth consecutive game.
