Cats brace for grueling stretch on SEC road

After Kentucky lost 71-69 at Ole Miss Tuesday, Coach John Calipari had a sobering message for his players.

"I just told them the toughest part of our season is coming up," Calipari told reporters. "So if you think this stuff is hard, wait till you see what we got going on (ahead). We got a tough road."

The trip to Ole Miss began a stretch of three road games in a four-game stretch for Kentucky. The Cats play next on Saturday at Florida, which leads the Southeastern Conference Eastern Division.

The other road game in the next 10 days takes Kentucky to Vanderbilt, where UK has lost four of its last five (and six of its last nine) against the Commodores.

Tennessee breaks up the road show by playing at Kentucky next Tuesday. The Vols are one of only three teams with a winning record on the SEC road.
