Well, you can’t win them all. Tennessee basketball fell 77-72 in an intense back and forth game to the Kentucky Wildcats. This win gives the Wildcats their fourth SEC Tournament Championship in a row.
Early in the game, the Vols looked like they were going to get run out of the gym. They came out soft on both sides of the ball. They were making bad decisions and being very tentative on offense as well as missing easy shots. It was like they were scared of Kentucky or something. Maybe the Big Blue Nation effect?
Tennessee was down 27-12 with eight minutes to go in the first half and by the four-minute mark, they were 5-25 from the floor and only 1-for-9 from the three-point line.
