It's gonna have to be another second-half comeback, folks...
The bad news? Kentucky is trailing by double figures again at halftime, moving the total to nine such first-half deficits against high-major competition in 11 tries — including four of five in the SEC.
The good news? We just watched the Wildcats pull off a tougher comeback in Baton Rouge, down 18 early in the second half and turning it into a buzzer-beating game-winner by Malachi Moreno.
They’ll need more of that magic in Knoxville, down 42-31 at the break.
After a red-hot start, Tennessee cooled off late, shooting one of its last eight from the field with no field goals in the last 3:25. That allowed Mark Pope’s group to cut a 17-point deficit down to 11 points at the half.
