They say it’s hard to beat a team three times in a single season — that held true tonight in Indianapolis. Tennessee, 0-2 against Kentucky on the year, controlled this one from the very opening tip.
Zakai Zeigler gave Tennessee the first separation of either side early on, drilling the Vols’ first three of the game from the corner. Tennessee was capitalizing early with a big advantage on the boards and a defense that appeared locked in.
Jordan Gainey and Darlinstone Dubar hit three-pointers of their own, while Felix Okpara worked hard underneath for a few tough rebounds and buckets.
