No. 6 Kentucky still perfect in SEC, holds off Vandy 87-81

Calipari: 'We just gutted it out'

Kentucky (14-2, 4-0) came in having beaten its first three SEC opponents by at least 23 points, something the Wildcats hadn't done since the 1953-54 season. They looked ready to roll over Vanderbilt, scoring the first nine points of the game, before finding themselves in their tightest game at least in league play this season.

Vanderbilt (8-8, 2-2) closed to 83-81 on Jeff Roberson's putback with 17.9 seconds left. But the rally fizzled from there.
