With one big game, Tennessee basketball found itself back in the NCAA Tournament race. The Vols shocked the No. 6 ranked Kentucky Wildcats 81-73, coming back from 17 points down in the second half, just three days after holding off the Florida Gators at home.
UT trailed Kentucky 51-34 with under 17 minutes to go in the game but received new life with a 12-2 run right after that. Then, down 60-53, they used a 10-0 run to take the lead. Kentucky tied it at 63 with under six minutes to go, but Yves Pons responded with a three to give Rocky Top the lead for good.
