It’s January, and it’s Saturday and usually when those two things come together it means one thing: Kentucky will be playing in a marquee, SEC basketball game. This week is absolutely no different as the Wildcats are headed to Fayetteville to face the Arkansas Razorbacks.
And while Arkansas is unranked in the polls, trust me, this is in fact a mega-game. The Hogs enter this one at 14-2 overall, with one loss coming in overtime (at Western Kentucky) and the other by two points, on the road, against first place LSU. Frankly, the fact that Arkansas is unranked is a crime that should be punishable by jail time for voters (but that’s another conversation for another day).
