Since Tennessee lost to Kentucky at home 78-73 as a 10.5-point favorite, they've won three straight including wins over Florida and Missouri. Kentucky has won four of the last five meetings. But Kentucky's been having some trouble outside their win against Tennessee they've lost four of their last six games with the other one coming against horrible South Carolina. This is a spot for Tennessee to show up and get some payback and they've only lost four games this season. Tennessee has the No. 1 defense in college basketball, holding opponents to 36.2% shooting. They also have a third-ranked scoring defense allowing 59.2 points a game. Tennessee to win.

If these two teams were closer I could potentially see Kentucky pulling off the regular season sweep but Tennessee is a far more complete team and will have a response after losing to the Wildcats at home back on Jan. 28. I see a big key for the Vols success being Zakai Zeigler, who got a little bit banged up but has returned with stellar performances back-to-back against Missouri (21 points, eight assists) and Oklahoma (17 points, nine assists). Zeigler was just 1-for-11 from the three-point line in the first game, but he’s hit seven from his last eight from behind the arc and doesn’t seem to be trending towards another woeful shooting night.
