A matchup between Kentucky and Vanderbilt might draw comparisons to David and Goliath – such as when the unranked Commodores upset the eventual national champions in the SEC title game nearly four years ago.

John Calipari suggests the roles might be reversed this time.
After plummeting to No. 23 in the wake of two early SEC losses, the Wildcats look to build on a confidence-boosting win when they host the Commodores on Saturday.
Kentucky (14-4, 4-2 SEC) has already lost to LSU and Auburn in conference play, falling from the No. 1 ranking it held in early December down to 23rd – the lowest for the Wildcats since they were unranked to finish the 2013-14 season.
A young Kentucky squad is in danger of falling out of the Top 25 again, and Calipari says his team may be facing its toughest SEC opponent yet.
