Rick Barnes talks big Kentucky win
Jordan Prather-USA TODAY SportsTennessee started hot on Saturday night at Rupp Arena and never really looked back. The Volunteers jumped out to a quick ten point lead in the opening minutes, and that hot shooting never cooled off. Kentucky’s swiss-cheese defense helped throughout the night, as Rick Barnes was able to scheme up several sets to generate some easy buckets.
It was nice to see coming off of a dreadful performance at home against South Carolina, where Tennessee was only able to score 59 points. It was the Dalton Knecht show again against the Gamecocks, but that changed in a big way against Kentucky.
