Rupp Arena played host to a top-five between two SEC teams, something that hasn’t happened in fifteen years. However, it didn’t live up to the billing, or at least the Tennessee basketball team didn’t.
Kentucky humbled the Vols.
They outplayed them on both ends of the court. The Cats played with more heart and frankly, wanted it more than any player in orange. They ‘out-Tennessee’d,’ Tennessee. And, that is something that doesn’t happen often.
The Vols will undoubtedly drop from the number one spot in the polls as they should. They didn’t look like the number one team in the nation on Saturday night, that was Kentucky.
