Downward spiral in second half dooms UK to defeat at Tennessee

Kentucky and Tennessee, two teams that had shown multiple personalities, lived up and down to those personas Saturday.

Thanks to PJ Washington outclassing Grant Williams in a matchup of similar power forwards, Kentucky ruled the first half.

But Tennessee owned the second, helped in no small part by Washington suffering leg cramps and watching from the bench with a towel over his head.

Not so coincidentally, Williams came alive in Washington’s absence and led Tennessee to a 76-65 victory over Kentucky.
