Kentucky Seek to End Losing Streak

Kentucky’s losing streak has set them back in the conference, going from a 3-1 in conference record, to 3-3.

Despite recent losses the team still ranks third in points per game, averaging 88.1, and will be looking to that scoring power to get them back on track.

Otega Oweh leads the team with 15.9 points per game, he will be a focal point if Kentucky can pass this test.

Perfect Game For The Vols to Bounce Back

Tennessee fell to the best team in the country in their last game, but will look at this rivalry game as a perfect place to bounce back.

Chaz Lainer, the teams leading scorer and Zakai Zeigler, who leads the team in assists per game, will be key to keep up with Kentucky’s high scoring offence.

Whilst keeping up with Kentucky’s scoring is key in this matchup, it is defence where it will be won.

Igor Milicic leads the team in rebounds per game. The center could turn the game for the Volunteers.

Kentucky vs. Tennessee Pick

This game has all the make up of a shootout. That being said, its on defence that will make the difference.

After Tennessee’s solid showing vs. Auburn, take them to win this in a close affair.
