Thursday night’s game at Rupp Arena has the Vanderbilt Commodores (15-1) matching up with the Kentucky Wildcats (8-8) at 7:00 PM ET on January 11. Poor second half shooting spoiled a great first half lead in Knoxville as the Wildcats dropped their last matchup 87-69 against Tennessee on Sunday.
We're riding a four-game win streak at home, and we need the #BBN to help us keep that going.
