Setting the stage: UK vs. Tennessee

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – Next up for the basketball Cats is Tennessee Tuesday night down in Knoxville.

You better believe Thompson-Boling Arena will be packed to welcome UK.

Kentucky leads the all-time series 151-67…including having won the last two…over the vols.

But UT opened up as just a 5-point dog in this one.

So how’s UK associate head coach Kenny Payne feelin’ about the trip to Rocky Top?

Hear from Payne in the video.
