Well, here goes nothing. After a tough stretch of play that includes back-to-back losses at Alabama and vs. South Carolina, the Kentucky men’s basketball team will head to Knoxville hoping to avoid a third straight. And unfortunately, they’ll be taking on one of the best teams in college basketball, with the Tennessee Volunteers entering the matchup ranked No. 5 overall at 14-2.

Tennessee scores a respectable 75.5 points a game, but dominates on the other end of the floor, holding opponents to an absurd 53.
