John Calipari probably said more, but he only needed three words to get his pregame point across as No. 1 Kentucky prepared to take on Vanderbilt Saturday night. He scribbled them across the board in the UK locker room at Memorial Gym. “Love The Road,” he wrote. The Wildcats got the message. Kentucky blew a double-digit halftime lead, took the best Memorial Magic that Vanderbilt had to offer and pulled a little of its own sleight of hand, handing Vandy a 69-63 home loss.
