When Kentucky and Tennessee tip off at noon tomorrow in Rupp Arena, we'll be watching the SEC's best defensive team versus the SEC's best offensive team. So something's gotta give.
Tennessee enters the game with
the conference's best scoring defense in league play, allowing only 58 points per game. Kentucky, on the other hand, leads the SEC in points per game in league play, averaging 80.3 points against conference foes.
The two schools are also near the top of the conference in scoring margin, coming in at No. 2 and No. 3 with a +9.7 and +9.3 margin, respectively. The Cats and Vols also rank first and second in rebounding margin since the beginning of SEC play.
The good news for Kentucky is Tennessee really had trouble defending the dribble drive against Auburn on Wednesday and the Vols have been turnover prone lately, worse than Kentucky, believe it or not.
Beat Tennessee.
