Kentucky vs. Utah game thread and pregame reading

The Kentucky Wildcats are back in action tonight as they take on the Utah Utes in Las Vegas. The game is scheduled to start at 11:00 pm EST, so make sure you stay up late for this one! It can be seen on ESPN2 and streamed online with WatchESPN.

Kentucky continues it’s hot streak as they have now raddled off six wins in a row. They looked fairly good in their win over Georgia Tech with Immanuel Quickley continuing to show just how much he has improved over the past year.

Utah is currently 8-2 with quality wins over BYU, Minnesota and Nevada, but they have some bad losses to Coastal Carolina and Tulane.

The Cats have three games left before conference play, and it’ll be interesting to see how they play out. The tests only get harder from here as a matchup with Ohio State, the 5th-ranked team in the country, looms this Saturday.
