After a huge road win over the Alabama Crimson Tide to get back on the right track earlier this week, Tennessee basketball returns home for a major opportunity Saturday. The Vols will host their hated rival.
John Calipari’s No. 15 ranked Kentucky Wildcats travel to Knoxville to face Rocky Top in a nationally televised Saturday afternoon matchup. This basketball rivalry has really taken a hot turn in recent years with the emergence of UT under Rick Barnes, and it should be exciting again Saturday.
At 13-9 overall, Barnes’ team moved back above .500 in the SEC, to 5-4, with their win earlier this week, and they broke a three-game losing streak in the process.
