Vanderbilt vs Kentucky Game Preview

Why Vanderbilt Will Win

Well look at who wants to be a part of the NCAA Tournament fun.

It’s going to a minor miracle – like a win here, and then over Mississippi State, and then a deep run in the SEC Tournament just to get seriously in the discussion – but Vanderbilt has won six out of its last seven games.
