Kentucky men’s basketball at Tennessee: Get live updates, stats from Knoxville

It hasn’t been easy, but the Kentucky men’s basketball team is on a winning streak.

UK (11-6, 2-2 SEC) has won two straight conference games entering Saturday’s tilt at No. 24 Tennessee (12-5, 2-2). The second of those Wildcat wins took a buzzer-beating jumper from freshman Malachi Moreno on Wednesday at LSU. The first was a homecourt blowout of Mississippi State in which Kentucky trailed by 12 points in the opening minutes.

But the Cats face a taller task Saturday in Knoxville, Tennessee, where the Volunteers are 10-0 this season. Texas A&M, which lost 87-82 on Tuesday at what’s now called the Food City Center, is the only team to play the Vols to within single digits at home in 2025-26.
