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.
