The Cats look to get back on track after a week off.
Good morning, BBN!
Has this been the longest seven-day stretch of your life, or is it just me?
Don’t worry; the Kentucky Wildcats are back in action today as they take on the Vanderbilt Commodores in Nashville.
To no one’s surprise, this won’t be easy for Kentucky.
Vandy has had some extremely close games this season with good teams, and they are coming off a big-time upset over No. 6 Tennessee last Saturday by a score of 76-75.
With that said, they just lost to Alabama by 16 on Tuesday, the team that UK most recently lost to as well. So, both teams are looking for a bounce-back game in this one.
Some great news for Kentucky is that this past week off gave players like Lamont Butler and Andrew Carr to rest up and get healthier. Hopefully, those two will feel refreshed and ready to bring it today.
It’ll be a fun one! You can catch the game on ESPN at 2:30 PM ET.
