One year after an upset win over Kentucky at Rupp Arena − and a second win over the Wildcats in the SEC Tournament − Vanderbilt basketball heads back to Lexington as heavy underdogs Wednesday.
The Commodores (8-21, 3-13 SEC) played Kentucky (21-8, 11-5) on Feb. 6 at Memorial Gymnasium and lost 109-77. Since then, the Wildcats have scored more than that on two occasions: they had 117 against Alabama and 111 against Arkansas.

Kentucky’s offense just does that to people, with some of the best 3-point shooting in the entire country. That’s bad news for Vanderbilt, which has struggled to defend from beyond the arc. KenPom gives the Commodores just a 3% chance at victory.
