On Saturday, Vanderbilt had one kind of loss: the loss where you piss away a 14-point lead against a beatable opponent because your offense quits functioning. Tuesday night was a bit different than that.
Since John Calipari took over at Kentucky in the 2009-10 season, he’s been running roughshod over most of the SEC... yet, Vanderbilt’s managed to at least not get embarrassed most of the time. The Commodores are now just 4-11 against the Wildcats under Calipari, but nine of those losses have been by single digits, including last night’s. Kentucky’s 2011-12 team was mostly untouchable, but Vanderbilt handed them one of their two losses that season and lost the other two games by 6 and 9 points.
