Tennessee and Kentucky had their first matchup in 1910. The Wildcats prevailed with a high scoring affair, 20-5. And yes, they were playing basketball. Kentucky has been dominant, leading the series 153-70. Even more bad news for Vol fans is Tennessee basketball hasn’t beat Kentucky at Rupp since the 2006 season.
Now on to the good news, Tennessee (17-5, 7-3 SEC) has won two of the last three games and three of the last five games against the Cats. The Vols are on a five-game winning streak and have won eight of the previous ten games.
