Happy Saturday, everyone.

The Kentucky Wildcats are in London, England for the first time in the history of the program to take on the Michigan Wolverines. The Cats are 5-2 on the season with the two losses coming against the only Power 5 opponents that they’ve faced so far: Michigan State and Gonzaga.

It’s early December and the usual mantra of the program is “We play for March” but this feels like a pretty big game for the Cats. They only have a few more chances to get a win against good teams in order to build that early season tournament resume. Wins against North Florida, Bellarmine and the like are nice and all but those wins do not move the needle for the committee.

The Cats were in a similar situation last season as they lost their first two power five teams (Duke and Notre Dame) before thumping North Carolina and going on a run. Will we see the same results this season?

Tweets of the Day

Colorado is an interesting spot for Deion Sanders. It’s a tough job and I thought he would hold out a little longer for a place with more of a fertile recruiting area.

Congrats!!!
