Kentucky returns to Rupp Arena on Saturday for a rematch with 25th-ranked Vanderbilt. Vandy won the first run-in in Nashville by 25 points, the Wildcats’ worst game of the SEC slate. The Commodores are a top-25 team in the return trip to Lexington, where Kentucky needs to shake off the Rupp rust from a loss to Georgia and maintain winning momentum off a victory at South Carolina.
KenPom predicts a 78-77 loss for Big Blue on Cawood’s Court. But what does KenPom know? Here at KSR, the staff has its own thoughts about the matchup.
