Things did not get any better for Tennessee basketball following their loss to the Memphis Tigers. In fact, they got worse. The Vols suffered their second straight loss, falling to the Cincinnati Bearcats 78-66 on the road, their first game that was technically a road game all year.
With the loss, UT, ranked No. 21, fell to 7-3 on the season. Cincinnati, which has been struggling under first-year head coach John Brennan and was on a two-game losing streak, improved to 7-4 on the year.
Lamonte Turner, who has been banged up throughout the season so far, left the game for a bit due to injury but came back in, the second time this year he has done that.
