THE NO. 15 KENTUCKY WILDCATS
Shorthanded but undeterred, No. 15 Kentucky defeated No. 5 Tennessee, 75-64, finishing off a regular-season sweep of the Volunteers.
With guards Jaxson Robinson (wrist) and Kerr Kriisa (foot) out and Lamont Butler leaving early after re-aggravating a shoulder injury, the Wildcats got big performances from seldom-used freshmen Trent Noah (11 points in 19 minutes) and Travis Perry (eight points in 12 minutes) off the bench.Kentucky shot 50% (12 for 24) from 3 while holding Tennessee to 17% (3 for 18) from deep.Itâs Kentuckyâs fifth top-10 win this season, two more than any other team.
The Wildcats arenât perfect. Their defense is suspect, they donât get to the free throw line, and the backcourt injuries are worrisome. But in a loaded SEC, every win is worth cherishing, especially ones against one of your biggest rivals.
If youâre in post-Super Bowl sports blues, I highly, highly encourage you use college basketball to snap out of it. Just last night âŠ
