Kentucky men’s basketball vs. Oklahoma: Get live stats, news updates

There are choppy waters ahead for the Kentucky men’s basketball team. So it’s crucial that the Wildcats take advantage of smooth sailing when they can.

With a remaining schedule ranked toughest in the SEC, Kentucky (15-7, 6-3 SEC) can ill afford to drop its most winnable games, and Wednesday’s home date with Oklahoma (11-11, 1-8) clearly qualifies.

The Sooners have lost eight straight games, are 1-4 in true road games this season and are favorites in only one of their remaining nine games according to KenPom.com.

KenPom gives UK an 81% chance of winning Wednesday, the highest number remaining on the Cats’ schedule.
