Kentucky players prepared for emotional Senior Night, but still locked in on Vanderbilt

For the first time since 1975, Kentucky men’s basketball will honor six seniors on Senior Night. John Calipari has never had more than four seniors on a Kentucky roster during his time as head coach, but special circumstances have set up a potentially extra special evening in Rupp Arena on Wednesday.

Oscar Tshiebwe, arguably the biggest fan-favorite in Kentucky basketball history and the reigning national player of the year, will receive the biggest ovation of them all. He’s set endless records in just two on-court seasons with the Wildcats, putting up video games along the way and etching his name into college basketball lore.
