Kentucky vs Vanderbilt basketball preview: This is the perfect trap game

Locked On Kentucky - Daily Podcast On Kentucky Wildcats Football & Basketball

Could Kentucky basketball be walking into the perfect trap game?

On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe previews the Kentucky Wildcats vs the Vanderbilt Commodores. The Wildcats are coming off of an extremely dramatic shootout win over the Arkansas Razorbacks. Can they regroup and not stumble over the Commodores, the worst team in the SEC?

Dawe takes a look at the matchup, and does his best to try and give Vandy some credit. While they do have guards Ezra Manjon and Tyrin Lawrence, Jerry Stackhouse's team just looks brutal on KenPom. John Calipari's squad may just have too many shooters - Reed Sheppard, Rob Dillingham, Antonio Reeves - for this to be a truly close game.

And that's why Kentucky basketball could be playing in the perfect trap game. If the defense doesn't get up and play hard from start to finish... it could be interesting.
