Kentucky’s loss to Tennessee can be explained through one single stretch of the game — it just happened to be a really long stretch…
The No. 4 Wildcats fell on the road to the No. 16 Volunteers on Tuesday night, losing 76-63 in a contest that was never truly close. Kentucky actually jetted out to an early 8-2 lead, but that was all the optimism the night would provide. At the 13:57 mark of the first half, Jacob Toppin made a tough layup to put UK ahead 17-15. Unfortunately, that was the last Wildcat field goal for nearly 11 minutes of action.
