LIVE BLOG: No. 15 Kentucky at Texas
For the first time in program history, Kentucky will play Texas in Austin. KSR’s LIVE BLOG will bring you all the sights and sounds from the Moody Center as the No. 15 Wildcats take on the Longhorns (8 p.m. ET, ESPN).
Kentucky is coming off a massive win over No. 5 Tennessee in Rupp Arena. Texas has lost its last three games (Alabama, at Vanderbilt, Arkansas) and four of the last five. Both teams have been bitten by the injury bug, with the Cats down Jaxson Robinson (wrist) and Lamont Butler (shoulder). The Longhorns will be without Chendall Weaver (hip) and Arthur Kaluma (knee). Once a preseason AP Top 25 team, the Longhorns are struggling, now just 15-10 and 4-8 in the SEC and at risk of missing the NCAA Tournament.
The Cats have struggled against desperate teams this season, especially on the road. Will they be able to take care of business with a makeshift backcourt or are we in for a long night? Refresh the feed below for updates and our takes on the game, from both the Moody Center and the couch.

It’s not just Kentucky that’s shorthanded tonight. Texas will be without Chendall Weaver (hip) and Arthur Kaluma (knee). Kaluma hurt his knee in Tuesday night’s loss to Alabama. The senior forward is averaging 12.9 points and 7.9 rebounds per game this season. He was listed as doubtful on the initial SEC Availability Report last night. Devon Pryor is available after missing the Alabama game with a calf injury. He averages 4.1 points and 2.1 rebounds per game.
