Saturday Headlines: South Carolina Gameday

Good morning, BBN.

Gameday has arrived for the Kentucky Wildcats (6-4), who are on the road tonight for a date with the South Carolina Gamecocks (4-6).

Win, and it keeps hope alive for a special season since Kentucky could theoretically win out and finish 9-4, which is actually a final record that the Cats have never finished with.

Lose, and it will mark consecutive losses to the Gamecocks for the first time in the Mark Stoops era.

Just win, baby.
