Good morning, Big Blue Nation and all of you new readers visiting us from The Hill. It’s an exciting time in the Bluegrass because tonight Western Kentucky will wave their red towels throughout Rupp Arena in the seventh ever meeting between the state’s two best basketball teams.
Rick Stansbury’s Hilltoppers come to town having won seven of eight games on the season, the most recent against Louisville in Bowling Green. The last time WKU played Kentucky, the year was 2012 and the setting was the NCAA Tournament. Anthony Davis’ Wildcats won, 81-66, to advance to the Sweet 16 and on to the championship.
