Saturday Headlines: Ole Miss Gameday

Good morning, BBN!

Before the snow gets out of control, we have a Kentucky Basketball game to take care of.

The Cats take on the Rebels bright and early at 11 AM ET at Rupp Arena. You can watch the game on ESPN.

Kentucky is riding a four-game winning streak after losing its first two SEC games. The last time we saw them on Wednesday, surprisingly, they held the lead for much of the game.

It’s not something this team or these fans are used to, so it felt strange.

Let’s see if they can do it against a struggling but scrappy Ole Miss team.

Sadly, it’s not all good, as Kam Williams broke his foot against Texas. He probably won’t be back for the rest of the year, so that means no Kam, no Jaland Lowe, and probably no Jayden Quaintance for the rest of the year.

A fun note: this will be Travis Perry’s first game back in Rupp. Sadly, it’s for the Rebels. He’s having a pretty solid Sophomore campaign, averaging 15.5 MPG, scoring 5.7 PPG on 36.4 FG% and 36.1 3P%.

It’ll be great to see him back home.

Sheesh, the editors snapped with this one.
