Kentucky surges past Vanderbilt: 5 things to know and postgame banter

The Kentucky Wildcats had a horrible first half in Nashville, then came alive in the second half to beat the Vanderbilt Commodores, 78-64. The Wildcats improve to 19-5 on the season and now have a record of 9-2 in SEC play.

This, after the Cats trailed by double digits much of the first half, then outscored Vandy 51-28 in the second half in arguably the best half of basketball this Kentucky team has played this season.

After struggling mightily in the first half, Ashton Hagans flirted with a triple-double with 11 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists.
