See Tennessee, Kentucky basketball players separated after skirmish near Wildcats' bench

Tennessee basketball and Kentucky had a contentious moment by the Wildcats' bench early in the first half of Tuesday's game.

Vols forward John Fulkerson tumbled into the UK bench chasing a rebound after Zakai Zeigler missed a 3-pointer. The Vols on the court raced to the corner to help Fulkerson.

Kentucky strength and conditioning coach Rob Harris stood up and got in the way of Tennessee players going to help Fulkerson. Zeigler bumped Harris to get to Fulkerson. The Kentucky bench ran over in response and the teams had to separate.

The Kentucky bench and Zeigler were assessed technical fouls.
