Kentucky has won seven of its last 10 games, opening that stretch with an upset win over Tennessee in Knoxville, and it will be hoping to sweep the regular-season series on Saturday.

For Tennessee vs. Kentucky, projects that the Wildcats cover the spread as 2-point home underdogs. Kentucky got off to a slow start in conference play, but its win over Tennessee marked the beginning of a turnaround under head coach John Calipari. The Wildcats won six out of seven games during that stretch before losing consecutive games to Arkansas and Georgia, but they bounced back with a 71-68 win at Mississippi State on Wednesday.
Senior forward Oscar Tshiebwe scored 18 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in a double-double effort against the Bulldogs, pulling down seven of the team’s 18 offensive rebounds. Kentucky enters this matchup with the nation’s top offensive rebounding percentage according to KenPom’s metrics, and it tallied 10 of them in the first meeting between these rivals. Tennessee shot just 14.3% from 3-point range in that loss, scoring its third-fewest points of the campaign (56).
The Vols were without two of their top five scorers in Wednesday’s game against Alabama, as Josiah-Jordan James and Julian Phillips were sidelined due to injury and are both game-time decisions on Saturday afternoon. A lack of depth could be an issue in a road game immediately following a big win, especially against a Kentucky team that already picked up one win in this series. SportsLine’s model is not interested in backing the Vols on Saturday, pointing to Kentucky as the team with the value. Stream the game here.
