Vanderbilt lost 69-53 to Kentucky on Tuesday night, their fourteenth consecutive loss to the Wildcats. That’s not the longest losing streak that Vanderbilt has ever had against Kentucky — Vanderbilt lost 18 in a row to the Wildcats from 1993-2002 — but it’s quite possibly the dumbest, because Kentucky’s worst team in that stretch finished the season ranked 16th in the country. Vanderbilt couldn’t even solve the 9-16 pandemic year Kentucky team.
Vanderbilt’s also lost eleven straight to Tennessee, and that is the longest losing streak we’ve ever had against the school to the east, just narrowly surpassing the 10 straight we lost to them during the Kevin Nash years.
