It hasn’t quite been a series of celebrations for Kentucky Basketball this season, but Saturday was absolutely a day for fireworks. The Wildcats completed their season sweep of the Tennessee Volunteers, picking up their second win vs. No. 10 Tennessee this season by a score of 66-54.
Kentucky won the first meeting down in Knoxville when the entire fanbase thought the season had gone completely off the tracks. Most expected that game to be the nail in the coffin for Kentucky, but the Wildcats ended up knocking off then-No. 5 Tennessee by a score of 63-56.
In both games against the Volunteers, Kentucky’s defense of the three-point line and ability to dominate the glass made all the difference.
