Some games you run into hot shooting. Other games, you may not put your best foot forward defensively. On Saturday at Rupp Arena, it was some of both, resulting in a 107-79 loss to No. 18 Kentucky.
A struggling Tennessee team entered the big matchup over the weekend looking to put some issues behind them, particularly on the offensive end. However, it was defensive issues that ended up costing this one, along with some can’t-miss shooting from Kentucky.
Tennessee got punched in the mouth time and time again, eventually getting swallowed up by the avalanche that was the Kentucky offense on that day.
