We all knew a loss was coming, it was just a matter of when and to who.
Kentucky answered that for everyone with a 17 point butt-whipping. It was close for most of the first half and even a six-point game at halftime. However, the Wildcats opened the second half with a 14-0 run, and the Vols could never recover.
But, it’s only Tennessee’s basketball second loss of the season, and all their goals are still attainable. And, for now, they still sit atop of the one line in the NCAA Tournament.
As always we want to keep you up to date with all the latest bracketology, and we begin with ESPN’s Joe Lunardi’s projections which were updated February 18, 2019.
