Let’s not pretend Saturday’s night contest is just another game. I suppose in the grand schemes of things it is. However, both teams want a win.
Tennessee basketball doesn’t want to hear about how their schedule has been unimpressive thus far. On Friday, Ken Pomeroy the creator of kenpom.com, enlighted the nation with his “fun fact” for the day. According to Ken, “Tennessee’s conference strength of schedule has been easier than Santa Clara’s and Washingon State’s.”
Okay Ken, cool, Go Big Orange.
On the other hand, Kentucky is out to prove they aren’t the same team who lost to Duke by 34 points earlier in the season.
