HOGS AND ORANGES ALL ROLLED UP INTO ONE

 
That's about right.

Kentucky and Vanderbilt overlap in game times tomorrow, which is kind of interesting.  Kentucky plays at Tennessee at noon on CBS and Vanderbilt plays at the Pig Sty at 1:30 EST.  It's kind of a same-song-different-verse type game for Kentucky, as UT's wheels seem to be falling off.  Sure, it's a home game, but how many people do you think are going to show up on campus for noon tipoff?  "IF IT AIN'T IN NEYLAND, I AIN'T A-GOIN'", Vols fans will probably say.  That, or they'll have been up way too late getting high and robbing gas stations to make it to that bathtub of an arena in time.  None of this means that Kentucky will win easily, of course, but provided the Cats own the boards, the game should not be in doubt.

Vandy, on the other hand, is dealing with a rather enigmatic Arkansas team that has a terrible record but somehow has a chance to win the SEC West.  You could really say that about any West team except LSU, but the Hogs actually owned first place in the division for a little while down there.  Bud Walton Arena used to be a tough place to play.  Vandy just played a pretty bad game against UGA and won by the skin of A.J.'s yellow teeth.  Here's hoping they have a good game plan for stopping the Arkansas version of a dribble drive offense (they should) and getting some actual point production out of the front court that doesn't necessarily include wide open free throw shots.  Go Cats, Go Dores, and dammit winter, GO AWAY.  Have a good weekend.
