Big night for the Kentucky Wildcats tonight as they travel to Columbia for an encounter with fellow division-leader, the South Carolina Gamecocks. This aught to be an interesting game, and with Patterson back to near 100% and some improved offense from the players not named Meeks or Patterson, there is hope that the Wildcats can return the favor of a home defeat to the Gamecocks.
Now, for the news.
