The Kentucky Wildcats (14-4) (3-2) travel to Nashville to take on the Vanderbilt Commodores (15-3) (3-2). The Commodores are coming off a big win at home on Saturday defeating state rival Tennessee. The Cats are coming off a tough loss at home to Alabama. Vandy has a game on Tuesday vs. Alabama. The Cats are off until the Vandy game. Go Cats!

This will be a very difficult game for UK to win, atmosphere and playing court is very different, hopefully we can squeak out a W.

Hoping they will still be up after upsetting the Vols and we can get the win.

Kentucky 83-79.

Hope you are right Slink!!

I expect a tight game. Cats haven't had a really cold shooting night in a couple of weeks. They seem to go cold about every 5 or 6 games. Watching the women go 1-18 on 3s last night just reminded me what can happen any night, especially on the road.

Seems like Vandy is a hit-or-miss environment. You either love playing in Memorial, or it can be a house of horrors.

I know we always talk about insufferable fan bases, but in my experience, Vanderbilt, per capita, is the worst. It's a pretentious type of attitude with a vibe of "if we win, you suck because we're about academia" and "if we lose, you suck because we're about academia."

This might be the rare occasion where a conference team is coming off of a "bigger" game than facing UK given the in state rivalry, and UT's rank.  

Just announced that the Cats will be without Andrew Carr today. I would not be surprised if Trent Noah get in the rotation today. Go Cats!

7-6 Vandy.

Time out Kentucky with Vandy leading 15-12. Vandy is shooting 60% early on including 50% from 3.

Vandy leads the Cats 18-16 at the under 12 media timeout.

Nice to see Noah out there. Considering we can’t rebound or play defense, it’s nice to get another shooter out there and a guy who will try and get the 50/50 ball.

26-23 Vandy.

Vandy leads 30-25 with just over 4 minutes left in the first half.
