Coming off a heartbreaking and somewhat embarrassing 52-50 road loss to the Ole Miss Rebels on Tuesday, Tennessee basketball takes the court Saturday in a nothing-to-lose but everything-to-gain matchup. This time, it’s against a dangerous rival as well.
At Rupp Arena in Lexington, Ky., the Vols will attempt to beat the Kentucky Wildcats on the road in back to back years for the first time since 1976 and 1977, back during the Ray Mears, Bernard King and Ernie Grunfeld era.
