The Official Tennessee @ #6 Kentucky Game Thread, 9:00 PM ET, ESPN

[VFL1127]

I'm going to say TN shocks everyone and gets the upset.

 

[VolNExile]

Nine oh freakin’ five pm? geeze

 

[golfballs]

They won’t do a senior night for Nate Sestina will they?

 

[LakeMaryFLVol]

Already preparing myself for the Ruperees. They’ll probably score 30 from the FT stripe tonight.

Fact

I hope so but its 9 against 5 every time we play in Rupp

 

[JohnWardForever]

Kentucky 81-69

Yep, looks about right. Tennessee is a Big Game for Uk, whether they admit it or not. So they will come out firing. Home Court is way too much at Rupp for these young Vols. But, they Will play as hard as they can. And that's a Win. I say 76--65 uk.

 

[brubaker]

Sorry... Kentucky 77-61

 

[Give_All_Vol]

I want to believe there are enough lucky charms and whole milks in the world, but I won't believe there are until the clock hits zero with the Vols on top.

 

[PulaskiVolFan]

I've got my orange britches on tonight, I feel another big NCAA upset coming on!! If Fulky can hold his own tonight and if Hagans doesn't dominate Vescovi I think we'll have a chance. We're gonna need big time performances from Bowden and JJJ to win.

 

[BigOrangeAl 1979]

Kentucky will smoke us unfortunately

 

[JRVOL11]

will probably be ugly tonight

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I'll say we'll be lucky if UK only wins by 15.

You guys could be right, but it is worth noting that Kentucky didn't blow out either Vanderbilt or Ole Miss in Lexington. Ole Miss even had the lead with about 3 minutes left. Kentucky won by 5. I think we can keep it reasonably close... something like 73-64. It really depends on Bowden.

I hope it's an ugly type game in the sense that it's sloppy, slow, rugged and a ton of fouls on both teams, we seem to win those type games.

Going old school tonight !!! Reminds me of a Bama game back in late 80s that we listened to on the old mans clock radio (on battery backup )

For some reason we didn’t have electricity that night. All I can go by was John Wards call, but I remain convinced that Notoriously bad SEC ref, Don Rutledge, robbed us of the W!

Flash forward 30 years and it appears that I’m going to have to listen to bumbling Bob On my hand crank generator / USB powered emergency weather radio
Live in MT Juliet & tornados took a bite out of our collective arses ! Fortunately no real damage to speak of except for my kids school being partially demolished and the fact that we are approaching 24 hours without electricity and apparently have several more hours to go.

Was able to cook pork chops and scrambled eggs on the gas grill outside& with a gas hot water heater we were all able to wash off. All and all very lucky compared to many around us. GBO beat cats !

This is true... and Kentucky doesn't always shoot the 3 well at home. They were just 2-22 vs Ole Miss from 3 point range. They were lucky to win that one. They played terribly. Kentucky is a good team, but they are anything but dominant.

I think it's possible that they have a letdown game and Cal plays his bench a lot getting his starters as much rest as possible going into tournament season. I'm worried about Fulky getting dominated inside and can Bowden and JJJ play big. I think that and can we simply out hustle them for 40 minutes are the keys to winning tonight. It certainly feels different than regular games, this is a great rivalry I think.

Glad your family is safe, that would shake anyone up. Going oldschool listening over the radio with family around is pretty cool I think.
