Kentucky Women’s Basketball vs. Vanderbilt gets a new start time and TV channel – A Sea Of Blue

The Cats have a schedule change that will allow the crucial Vanderbilt clash to air on TV.
Earlier this season, Kentucky women’s basketball felt the sting of disrespect. The Cats went to Baton Rouge for a top-15 SEC clash.
That game turned into one of the best games of the season with Tonie Morgan cashing in from deep as time expired to give Kentucky a massive road win. ESPN relegated that game to streaming only. The reason was they wanted to show a 2nd stream of the SkyCast for Ole Miss vs. Georgia in the CFP.
That was already being shown on ESPN2; did we really need 2 versions of the same thing instead of a top women’s basketball game?
Well, ESPN learned its lesson. After knocking off Ole Miss in impressive fashion, Kenny Brooks and Kentucky have the mid-week off, preparing for a huge road test against number 5 Vanderbilt. That game was supposed to start at 3 PM, but an announcement yesterday meant this game will get the TV coverage it deserves.
Moving the game an hour later opens up TV slots, and the game will be carried on ESPN2. That is exactly what should happen. This game has it all. Vanderbilt won by 1 in HMC, and Kentucky is looking to get back into the top 16 to host the first two rounds at home.
There is also the lookahead to the schedule, after Vandy, Kenny Brooks, and company have to go to Auburn, and then finish things up with South Carolina.
A press release revealed that the South Carolina game has fewer than 500 tickets left. HMC will be rocking.
At least now we will get to see this important SEC clash with the Dores; both of the remaining games are on SEC Network+ for now.
