A SEC battle is set for Tuesday night when the Kentucky Wildcats (13-6, 4-3 in SEC) visit the Vanderbilt Commodores (10-9, 3-3). Kentucky is turning things around as they have now won three games in a row and are fighting to get back into the top four of the standings. Vanderbilt has the talent to beat anyone but have been very inconsistent this season. Below is my college basketball best bet for Kentucky vs Vanderbilt.
