Round one sucked, one of the ugliest games in a season of far too many ugly games. It was a result that made the fanbase turn away from our beloved Nashville — well, at least until the next time — after suffering far too much heartache, Kentucky’s last three appearances in the Music City leading to three losses by a combined 89 points. The most recent was a 25-point beatdown handed out by Mark Byington and the Commodores in January — a month ago today, actually.
Vanderbilt will make the return trip to Lexington on Saturday with revenge on the Wildcats’ minds.
