The Official #5 Tennessee @ #10 Kentucky Game Thread, 8:30 PM ET, ESPN

I’m afraid the Florida win at Rupp will make this game all but unwinnable. Being the more desperate team is an advantage, and that loss will certainly make Kentucky desperate. When the crowd is going nuts and a few calls go against us (which they will), I’m afraid several players on this team will fold mentally. I’m desperate to be wrong.

Barnes has been a defensive coach since he was born. Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t know why he can’t extend that expertise to the offense.

It is tough to win on the road against a quality SEC opponent. Add in the Rupparees . . . And they are coming off a loss . . . And JJJ your senior with experience has done a complete disappearing act . . .

I hope I’m wrong and will gladly be wrong . . . But this has blowout loss written all over it.

It's Guaranteed that one of them has 2 fouls within 3 minutes. Can manage it if it's Vescovi, but the other two would be disastrous

We all know Santi is going to be Santi and try and grab a few early steals and get called for his 2nd foul before the 2nd media timeout. Basically written in stone at this point in his career lol.

His scoring has fallen off. He does other things very well. He wouldn’t be getting so many minutes if he didn’t.

If we can't beat these guys with 2, possibly 3 starters out, then we have no business being ranked in the top 15...

I would be shocked if all 3 of those players are out. I think it’s likely that all 3 play. Cal even said Wagner sat against Florida to make sure he was healthy for Tennessee.

Gonna have to play well enough to beat them by probably 10 points if we wanna overcome home-court adv and the nasty refs
Also, DK needs to show that kentucky guy who said "earn respect" who's boss
