LEXINGTON, Ky. – As No. 5 Kentucky pounded its way to a 24-point lead over No. 1 Tennessee, John Calipari could be spotted on the Rupp Arena sideline screaming in anger.

No, he was not upset with his players. It was the UK student section that had drawn his ire for chanting “Over-rated” at the suddenly hapless Volunteers.

“I know how good Tennessee is and that's why I told our fans, enough of the, ‘They're overrated,’” Calipari said after Kentucky’s 86-69 win.
