The last time Kentucky and Vanderbilt met, the Commodores came away with the 84-83 victory. A times, it looked like the Cats probably should have won that game, but in the end, the higher-ranked team came away with the win. However, would the same ring true in round two on Sunday? Could Kentucky overcome that hurdle and secure its third top five win of the season?
Vanderbilt ended up sweeping the season series over the Cats, coming out on top 81-79. Kentucky is now 20-8 (7-7 SEC).
Kentucky made its first four three-pointers of the afternoon and got out to a nice 18-8 lead early on, but the Commodores would make six consecutive shots to put themselves back into the mix.
