No. 5 Tennessee will take on No. 15 Kentucky in a Top 15 tilt from Lexington on Tuesday night.
The Vols head into the border battle as winners of three straight including two ranked opponents with No. 5 Florida and No. 15 Missouri. Kentucky, on the other hand, has struggled since beating Tennessee in Knoxville on Jan. 28. The Wildcats have lost two of their last three games since then but may have righted the ship with a dominant 23-point win over South Carolina last weekend.
No. 5 Tennessee and No. 15 Kentucky will clash at 7:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday night in Rupp Arena.
Ahead of the game this week, Tennessee associate head coach Justin Gainey and center Felix Okpara met with the media for a few moments on Monday before practice.
