Kentucky Flipped the Script with Second-Chance Points in Win over Tennessee
Kentucky didn’t make it easy on itself in the first half on the road against Tennessee on Saturday. The Cats had only two second-chance points in the first half. It’s no wonder that Kentucky crawled into a 17-point first-half deficit, trailing 42-31 at the half.
Tennessee had eight offensive rebounds in the first half, dominating the boards early. UK was outrebounded 20-12 in the first half. Then, the script was flipped.
“Coach [Cody] Fueger loses sleep every single night about us getting active on the glass,” Kentucky coach Mark Pope said postgame. “And clearly it was really important for us.”
