Kentucky Basketball: Takeaways from Wildcats' win over Volunteers

The Cats were scorching hot from deep and used that to exact their revenge on the Vols.

For the first time this season, Kentucky got a shot at a team that had previously beaten them as Tennessee came to Rupp Arena.

After the Cats blew a 21-point lead in Knoxville two weeks ago, everyone expected the Cats to jump out to a quick lead and mop the floor with the Vols this time around.

That wasn't the case initially as a cold-shooting effort by the Cats saw them struggling to pull away. Both teams were ice cold early on as they combined for just 17 points through the first nine minutes, but a quick 13-1 spurt allowed the Cats to jump out to a comfortable lead.
