In search of a sweep over their border rival to the south, the Kentucky Wildcats take on the Tennessee Volunteers on Saturday at Thompson-Boling Arena. Tipoff is scheduled for 2 p.m. CBS has the television coverage.
Kentucky thumped then-No. 1 Tennessee 86-69 in Rupp Arena just three weeks ago. That victory snapped a 19-game Tennessee win streak and handed a puzzled Rick Barnes — “I didn’t recognize my team,” the Tennessee coach said that night — and his Vols their first loss of the conference season. Now the two teams are locked in a three-way tie for first place with LSU in the conference standings.
