KENTUCKY SURVIVES ANOTHER TEST

Number 1 Kentucky seems to bring out the best in their opponents, Tennessee, a team with little hop of making the tournament hung with the wildcats until late. The Vols ultimately fell 66-48 in a game that was a lot closer than the score suggested. “It’s like that whether you’re the best of Kentucky or you’re the worst of Kentucky,”Willie Cauley-Stein said. “They’re still trying to beat Kentucky, so you have to come out ready to play with them. If not, then they get beer muscles and they think they can play with you. You have to come out ready to swing. Otherwise you’re going to get hit in the mouth.”
