For some reason, the Kentucky Wildcats seem to always struggle in Knoxville. Is that because of Rick Barnes? Some kind of curse?
I’m not sure, but the Wildcats really struggled to play good basketball on Tuesday and ultimately fell to the Tennessee Volunteers 76-63.
Kentucky was led in scoring by Oscar Tshiebwe with 13 points. Oscar continued his double-double streak with 13 points and 15 rebounds, but it was not enough to propel the Wildcats to victory.
Overall, Kentucky looked overwhelmed and lost in Thompson-Boling Arena yet again. This is not a building where the Wildcats feel comfortable.
