Good morning.
The Vanderbilt Commodores return to action tonight, hosting the Kentucky Wildcats at 8:00 PM CT on ESPN. Vanderbilt, as you’ll recall, is on a seven-game losing streak and lost 86-55 to Oklahoma last time out.
During that losing streak, the Commodores have seemed to alternate between “they’re almost there” (three-point loss to South Carolina, overtime loss to Tennessee) and “they’re not even close” (19-point loss to Georgia, 16-point loss to Mississippi State, whatever the hell that was at Oklahoma.) The previous game at Kentucky — a 56-47 loss in which Vanderbilt led at halftime and was in the game for most of it — definitely fell into the former category.
