The Kentucky Wildcats romped to a 107-79 victory over the Tennessee Volunteers in an SEC basketball game at Rupp Arena on Jan. 15, 2022. Now the Wildcats travel to Knoxville to face the revenge-minded Vols on Tuesday, Feb. 15 at Thompson-Boling Arena. ESPN has the 9 p.m. telecast. To preview the game, Lexington Herald-Leader sports columnist John Clay talked with Mike Wilson of the Knoxville News-Sentinel about Tennessee, which has won seven straight SEC games since that loss in Lexington. John also talked with Jon Hale of the Courier-Journal in Louisville about the Wildcats, now No. 4 in the AP Top 25. Hale also talked about NFL rumors concerning UK football offensive coordinator Liam Coen. For more UK athletics coverage visit www.kentuckysports.com.
