Knoxville always tough on UK women. Here’s why Thursday’s visit might be different.

If there’s such a thing as a good time for the University of Kentucky women’s basketball team to be traveling to Tennessee to play the Lady Vols, sooner is probably better than later.

Sixteenth-ranked Kentucky (14-2 overall, 1-1 Southeastern Conference) will get that chance Thursday night when the Wildcats take on No. 13 Tennessee (12-2, 1-1) in Knoxville.

Kentucky has lost six of its last seven games against Tennessee, including its two most recent, and trails the all-time series 55-11. UK is 3-23 in games in Knoxville and has not won there since 2014.

Again, never a good time.
