The Kentucky Wildcats entered Knoxville as a 9.5-point underdogs. They were not expected to hang with the No. 5 Tennessee Volunteers, especially after A quick 8-0 run by the home team to start the game did the Cats no favors.
Kentucky fought back and went 22/25 from the free line, which certainly aided the comeback aspirations as they won 63-56. The Wildcats may have found a lineup that works better than any other five-man unit, and it is one that fans have wanted to see more of.
Here are the numbers from Evan Miyakawa on the lineup of Cason Wallace - CJ Fredrick - Antonio Reeves - Oscar Tshiebwe - Jacob Toppin.
