Kentucky 85, Vanderbilt 72: A good rebound by Coach Cal's  boys. DeMarcus Cousins was overpowering in the paint. A.J. Ogilvy, Vandy's center, looked like a high school junior trying to cover Kentucky's beast.

If I were A.J., I'd have that pasted all over the inside of my locker. And I'd be pissed. Australian pissed.

Nashville, Tenn., Wednesday: Two of the best bigs in the SEC that don't play for Kentucky will match up when Mississippi State goes to Vanderbilt in a game that has significance for both. The Commodores are coming off a loss at Kentucky, while Mississippi State had a rough go at Arkansas before beating LSU at home.

2. Vanderbilt (16-4, 5-1)

Anyone looking for a change atop the mountain this week was disappointed by the effort put forth by Vandy against Kentucky. Riding a 10-game winning streak, the No. 21 Dores looked finally to be hitting their stride, but the same problems that have plagued the team all year continued to show. Kentucky nearly doubled up the Dores in rebounds and picked apart their perimeter defense.

I think they gush about Vanderbilt a little too much.

Do we deserve to be 2nd in the SEC right now? Yes. Still, I think it is a little early to lock us in.

We’ve seen how Kentucky reacts to a loss, but the last time we lost to a legitimate opponent (Illinois) it was followed up with a loss to Western Kentucky. Further, I was hardly impressed with the Chaminade effort after the loss to Cinci. Forget Ole Miss and Tennessee (at home), I’m not ready to chalk Miss. St. up as a win even if the game is happening in Memorial.

I agree

I agree with pretty much everything you’ve said. My guess is that Rocky Top is trying to justify its loss at home last week by building us up…we’ll be back under the bus if/when we lose again.

Today's rankings

Tennessee: 16-4 (4-2) losses to Purdue, Southern Cal, Georgia, Vanderbilt
Vanderbilt: 16-4 (5-1) losses to Cincinnati, Illinois, Western Kentucky, Kentucky

Yet the polls have UT ranked a tier above Vandy? Are we still unproven? Or is this a blessing for the team to ride the underrated/no one believes in us meme to more big wins?

Discuss.
