The Official #11 Tennessee @ Kentucky Game Thread, 8:00 PM ET, ESPN

[Volfan1000]

LAYUP LINES

• Kentucky big man Olivier Sarr is one of Yves Pons' closest friends. Both grew up in France, and they often played against one another before becoming teammates at INSEP Academy and on the French National Team.
• Pons is averaging a team-best 15.8 points while shooting .632 from the field and .467 from 3-point range (7-15) over the last four games.
• Last week, Pons was named a top-10 finalist for the Julius Erving Award and one of 15 candidates for Naismith Men's Defensive Player of the Year.
• Tennessee is No. 13 in the latest NCAA NET ratings, with four wins over teams in the top 30.
• Tennessee dominated #15 Kansas last Saturday for an 80-61, wire-to-wire win that clinched the SEC/Big 12 Challenge for the SEC (5-4).
• The Volunteers have been outscored 25-0 on fast-break points over the last two games.
• Over its last two games, Tennessee is shooting 50 percent from 3-point range (16 for 32).

Sarr played against Tennessee at Wake Forest as well.

This. I have a feeling Tennessee wins big tonight, they seem to get up for games like this (Pons and Fulk in particular), but will lose at home to them.

I have a buddy lifelong die hard KY bball. We got to talking about the cats and the head case of Tennessee basketball this year. He said KY is an embarrassment and Tennessee has nothing to be ashamed of bc they have been overachieving all year anyway. Tifwiw

Lololol

Kentucky really doesn't have much left to play for this season other than to beat us and make a longshot attempt to win the SEC tourney.

If we beat them, we take away their soul...

Just win. Playing at Rupp is always a challenge. I'm not buying the Wounded Wildcat act.

NOOOOOOOOO!!!! I was abt to post a prayer for this to not be....Well, Howdy BobBert.

 

[Larkin]

Go Vols!
I hope they shoot like they did against Kansas. If that is the case, then we win by 10+

If not, a nail biter. That is the nice thing about our defense. It keeps us in games at least when we aren’t shooting well.

I hate Kentucky as equally as I hate alabubba in football.

[Ace]

Go Vols!!!!
We need this one.

 

[Vol737]

Depends on which Tennessee team shows up tonight. If someone can definitively say that and it proves to be so, Danny White says he’ll buy you a six pack.
