After an 0-2 start to the SEC season, Tennessee basketball scored a much-needed win against the No. 17 ranked Kentucky Wildcats. Despite falling behind 37-29 at halftime, the Vols had a huge second half to win the game 76-65 in convincing fashion.
With the win, Kentucky falls to 12-3 overall and 2-1 in the conference. Meanwhile, Tennessee improved to 10-4 and 1-2 in the conference. This win also comes on the heels of two late-game collapses against the Arkansas Razorbacks and Auburn Tigers.
Ranked No. 23 in the country, this win might be just enough to keep the Vols in the Top 25.
