3 takeaways from Tennessee basketball's blowout win vs Louisville

Related Topics: Tennessee, Louisville, Rick Barnes

Tennessee absolutely dismantled Louisville 83-62 on Tuesday night at the Food City Center. The victory couldn't have come at a better time, as the win over 11th-ranked Louisville snapped a three-game losing streak. Vibes have never been higher in Knoxville.

It's worth noting that Louisville's star guard and second-leading scorer, Mikel Brown Jr., was out, but you play who you play, and you can't control who's in and who's out. You never apologize for a victory, especially versus a talented squad like Pat Kelsey's Louisville Cardinals.

It was clear Rick Barnes really got into the guys during the week off.
