Sunday Headlines: Kentucky vs Tennessee Tech Reactions and Jaland Lowe Injury Watch

SB Nation

The Kentucky Wildcats are now 5-5 after yesterday’s win over Tennessee Tech on Senior Day.

Yes, it was an FCS team, but the Cats came out and took care of business against the team in front of them, and didn’t

let a good FCS team hang around. Instead, the Cats led 28-0 at halftime and were able to come away with a dominant win.

This from Chris Fisher has a lot of truth in it.

With the win, the Cats are now one win away from bowl eligibility and they’ll have two opportunities to get that 6th win with road trips to Vanderbilt and Louisville.

Both of those games will be a challenge. Vanderbilt is 8-2 this season and coming off a bye week. However, Auburn came into Nashville about a week ago and scored 38 points, taking the ‘Dores to overtime before coming up short.

Then, of course, the Cats will wrap up their season with a game against Louisville. After starting 7-1, the Cards have lost back-to-back home games against unranked opponents, which has pushed them out of the ACC race. They’ll certainly be motivated when the Wildcats come to town though.

The last two games will be challenging, but the last three games have set up for an interesting to the season.

On the basketball side, we’re continuing to wait on updates regarding point guard Jaland Lowe and the status of his shoulder injury.

Lowe re-injured his shoulder in practice last week, and now we wait to see what the recovery period looks like. There have been multiple reports that surgery is a possible option, but it would likely be season-ending. There are some other options on the table, but it will ultimately be up to Jaland and his family to make what they feel like is the best decision.

Who knows when we will hear something for certain, but this is definitely a story we are continuing to follow.
