The No. 18 Tennessee Volunteers (11-5, 2-3) came into Rupp Arena looking to win its third straight game in the home of the No. 22 Kentucky Wildcats (13-3, 4-1), but instead found a buzzsaw that was, in fact, the Wildcats.
The Vols never had a chance as they went down 14-5 early and saw as much as a 32-point deficit during the game. Kentucky dominated the game down low and outscored the Vols, 34-11, in the paint while TyTY Washington led the way with a career-high 28-points on 10-of-13 shooting that included a 2-of-4 mark from 3.
