Kentucky Wildcats await decision on Mark Mitchell's eligibility today
Summary

The Kentucky Wildcats are poised for a crucial ruling regarding the eligibility of Mark Mitchell, a transfer from Missouri. Judge Brian Edwards in Louisville is expected to deliver a decision today, although delays have been indicated due to pushback from SEC commissioner Greg Sankey and others. Mitchell, who averaged 18 points and five rebounds last season, has become a target for Kentucky amid their roster turnover and head coach Mark Pope's need for improvements following a challenging season. The Wildcats recently lost out on another transfer, further intensifying hopes for Mitchell’s approval.
