Kentucky basketball holds off Tennessee to snap four-game losing streak in Knoxville

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - Shortly after being left out of the selection committee's early bracket reveal, Kentucky basketball began the task of making sure the Wildcats are included in the top four seeds on Selection Sunday.

Behind a career-high 13 points from reserve guard Johnny Juzang, Kentucky snapped a four-game losing streak in Thompson-Boling Arena with a 77-64 win over Tennessee.

Juzang made all four of his shots in a career-high 24 minutes off the bench. He was joined in double figures by sophomore guard Immanuel Quickley (18), junior forward Nick Richards (15) and freshman guard Tyrese Maxey (15).
