Highlights, box score and MVP from Wildcats’ thrashing of Tennessee

The Kentucky Wildcats were rolling in Lexington today as they played their rivals out of Knoxville, the Tennessee Volunteers.

Looking to honor legendary coach Joe B. Hall, who passed away earlier this morning, the Wildcats came out firing, jumping all over the Vols early on and never let this one be competitive.

The Cats started with a big first half, shooting 77% and taking a 14-point lead going into halftime.

Despite playing the nation's No. 2 defense, the Cats dominance wasn’t a story of the first half, as they shot 69 % from the field and completely ran the Vols out of the gym en route to a 107-79 victory.
