Kentucky brings a 16-game winning streak into the Music City tonight, as well as the top ranking in the country. There will be fans hanging from the rafters in Memorial Gym tonight, a place which has hosted SEC basketball games since well before I was born, and before my mother and father were wed.

Vanderbilt is coming off a comfortable home victory over the LSU Tigers, breaking a two-game losing streak. Defeating Kentucky tonight would give a much-needed shot in the arm to a program that, in the eyes of many, has underachieved significantly this year despite the injury and suspension of senior center Festus Ezeli.

Star-divide

For Kentucky to win tonight, they must:

  • Guard the three. Vanderbilt scores no less than 36% of their points from the arc, and if UK can't stop that shot, they will be in for a tough fight.
  • Rebound the ball. Vandy doesn't rebound well, but at home against a shot-blocking team like Kentucky, they are going to get an above-average number of opportunities.
  • Make open shots. Kentucky has been wildly efficient lately for one main reason -- they are making open shots. If they continue to do that with their execution style of offense, beating them will require a remarkable game.
  • Attack Festus Ezeli. Ezeli is both a strength and a weakness for Vandy. While he's in, he makes their offense very efficient. When he cannot play, the Commodores simply don't have the bench to replace what he does.
  • Keep Anthony Davis in the game. Davis impacts the game in so many ways it's hard to name them all. If he gets in foul trouble, Kentucky is vulnerable.

If Kentucky knocks off Vanderbilt on the road, any remaining doubters will sit down and shut up. No, I'm not talking about fans of Syracuse or Ohio St., both those teams have earned the right to say, "Show me." But other than that, few will doubt Kentucky's superiority if they can go down to one of the toughest gyms in the SEC with a lot on the line for the other team and come away with a "W."

Go, 'Cats!

That was one FINE half of basketball.

and the bucket by AD at the end was just the nice exclamation point and momentum killer.

Okay, folks.

That was complete, unambiguous domination for the first 20 minutes.

That Cats were so dominating in the last 10 minutes

That it reverberated back in time and changed the first 10.

No but it was definitely pandering to the crowd.

Sorry, Digger’s attitude really bugged today.

Yeah I know. And he may have bee the guy chosen to predict the underdog.

One of the three have to do that virtually every time. I do think they takes turns.

Looks like I owe an apology to Digger Phelps now that Vandy has tied the game.

This is what Cal wanted. Hopefully we can respond and win this thing. Vandy shooters are really feeling it right now.

Try Sobieski sometime.

It’s made from rye and very smooth. Pretty inexpensive, too.

UK is outrebounding Vandy by 1 (but obviously need to do better on defensive end)

3 point shooting is the only major category they are winning

2nd chance points really the only reason Vandy is anywhere close to UK

11 of their 23 points are after offensive rebounds.
