Tennessee Vols basketball sweeps Kentucky, Vanderbilt after losing to both in football

It’s time to check to see if pigs are flying. The Tennessee Vols sweeping the Kentucky Wildcats and Vanderbilt Commodores in basketball follows them losing to both in football.

The last time Tennessee football lost to Kentucky but Tennessee basketball swept Kentucky was 1977. They did it in 1976 as well.

But it almost never happens. Add in the twist of them losing to Vanderbilt in football and sweeping the Commodores in basketball, and you’ve got a bit of history on your hands. This has never happened in the history of the Tennessee Vols basketball program.
