🔼 ‘Dores Knocking. Kentucky women’s basketball has an opportunity to get back above .500 overall (8-8) and in SEC play (1-1) tonight when it hosts Vanderbilt at 7 p.m. at Rupp Arena.
The Commodores are 15-1 on the year and have won eight straight, including their first two conference matchups against Mississippi State and Florida, and find themselves just outside the AP Top 25.
🔼 Headed To The Hula. Kentucky football fans, you get another opportunity to watch Brenden Bates, Jeremy Flax and Tayvion Robinson represent the Wildcats — the trio will suit up in this Saturday’s Hula Bowl in Orlando, Fla. on the CBS Sports Network!
Rob Dillingham spoke to the media after Kentucky’s win over Missouri.
