Kentucky Loses Steam--
Is Vanderbilt’s Memorial Coliseum a house of horrors for the Cats? It might be, as the Wildcats entered the gym Tuesday night on a roll winning two crucial SEC games, only to lose mightily at the hands to the Vanderbilt Commodores 77-64 last night.

Kentucky’s loss to Vanderbilt is the fourth straight in Nashville and now places the Cats in yet another hole in the SEC East.
The game started bad and ended worse. The Patrick Patterson-less Wildcats appeared to be a step behind the ‘Dores all day.
Kentucky committed 13 fouls in the opening 20 minutes and finished with a season high 29 fouls. The immense amount of fouls sent Vanderbilt to the line where they took advantage of the mistake-prone Cats. Vandy shot 80% from the free throw line.
Not only was Vanderbilt capitalizing on the Cats constant fouls but was also able to dominate down low—out rebounding Kentucky 31-23.
Kentucky now is looking up at both South Carolina and Tennessee in the East Division. With the SEC already thought to be a down conference, each loss is more and more costly. The Cats now must face a seemingly, ‘Back-on-track’ Tennessee Volunteer team that has won their last 2 games.
Tennessee Game will be nationally televised on CBS Saturday, Tip at 1 p.m EST
