Kentucky Wildcats lose Senior Night game at Rupp Arena to Vanderbilt Commodores
Story from the game — Senior Night spoiled: Vanderbilt snaps Kentucky basketball's 14-game win streak in series
Kentucky's men's basketball team wraps up its 2022-23 regular-season slate this week starting Wednesday, as it hosts Vanderbilt on senior night in Lexington.
The Wildcats (20-9, 11-5 SEC) are on a four-game win streak. And the Commodores (16-13, 9-7) have played well of late, having won six of seven.
After a month of dealing with a short-handed roster, UK finally is closer to being at full strength. Senior guard CJ Fredrick, who battled a rib injury that forced him to miss four straight games, returned to the floor in last week's lopsided victory over Auburn. The Wildcats still are awaiting the return of fellow senior guard Sahvir Wheeler (ankle), who last played in Kentucky's home win over Florida on Feb. 4.
