Tennessee was able to exact its revenge against Kentucky on Tuesday night, coming away with a 76-63 win down in Knoxville after getting embarrassed by 28 points a month prior in Rupp Arena. It was a complete 180 performance for the ‘Cats from the first matchup, as the Vols came out with far more energy and physicality. Kentucky had poor outings from Kellan Grady and Keion Brooks Jr. while an injured TyTy Washington was a shell of himself.
All in all, it was a game that Kentucky will look to forget immediately. But as John Calipari says, we must first grieve for at least a night before moving on.
