The SEC Tournament semifinal matchup between Kentucky and Tennessee sounded like a closely-contested contest happening in the Elite Eight and the world was being treated to it in a conference tournament semifinal.
Unfortunately for the Cats, their streak of four straight tournament titles ended with an 82-78 defeat to the Vols, the second in three meetings this season.
Kentucky battle an offensive slump (missed 11 of their final 16 shots in the first half) and through two fouls for PJ Washington inside of the game’s first five minutes to trail by just two at the break.
