First, the televised game on CBS has to be pointed out on Saturday February 27th with Kentucky at Vanderbilt at 4PM ET.
Not only will this be the return bout between Vandy’s Damian Jones and Kentucky’s Skal Labissiere, but this could also be a chance for Vanderbilt to get that one resume win that could catapult them into the NCAA Tournament picture depending on how they navigate through their earlier schedule.
If Kentucky happens to be undefeated going into the game (though we expect for UK to have the court stormed on them at least once before this game) it could make things really interesting on this particular Saturday.
Tuesday March 1st and Wednesday March 2nd both have intrastate rivalry games on the slate down the stretch.
On March 1st, Tennessee goes to Nashville to play against Vanderbilt on SEC Network at 7PM ET.
Then the following day on March 2nd, Mississippi State travels to Oxford to face Ole Miss. That game can also be seen on the SEC Network at 7PM ET.
Then to close out the SEC slate on March 5th, the LSU Tigers travels to Lexington to face the Kentucky Wildcats.
LSU at Kentucky to close out the SEC slate should be very intense. That game can be seen on CBS at 2PM ET.
