Rothstein is impressed:

Johnny Juzang scored in double-figures today for the first time in his career. Kentucky wins in Knoxville for the first time since 2015. Cats hold serve in the SEC. #BBN

A true team effort:

Really nice win for Kentucky today. Tennessee had the run to cut it to four, and it looked like the Wildcats may struggle to close another game. Instead they locked in, made tough plays and got a win in Knoxville for the first time since 2015. HECK of an effort for that group

A good omen as the tournament approaches:

This is the 8th time, out of 11 seasons, in the John Calipari era that Kentucky has started 8-2 or better through their first 10 SEC games. Kentucky has advanced to at least the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament in 6 of the previous 7 seasons in which they accomplished that feat

Congrats to coach Cal and BBN on getting a good road win at Tennessee. Start the push for the tourney.
