In a rare setting, Tennessee basketball travels to Rupp Arena to face the Kentucky Wildcats as the higher ranked team. It’s the first time the Vols will face UK in Lexington as the No. 1 ranked team in the nation and the second time they’ll do so overall.

However, one thing that is extremely rare for the Vols is winning in Rupp Arena.
