Let's discuss the Rupp Arena version of '16-'17 Vols-'Cats, which is on in half an hour (7 p.m. EST) on ESPN.
As it stands, Tennessee is fighting for its NCAAT life (and losing), after dropping to 14-11 due to a 1-point home loss to UGA on Saturday. UK is probably hovering between 3 and 4 seeds, hoping to extend its 2-game SEC winning streak.
Since Tennessee's home victory over Kentucky on January 24, both teams are 3-2.
The big historical numbers: "[t]he Vols have won only four games in Rupp Arena since it opened in 1976, the most recent a 75-67 victory on Feb. 7, 2006. Tennessee has not swept UK since the 1998-99 season."
So snuggle up with your Valentine, a Totino's Party Pizza with extra Hormel pepperona (I'm fat) and...GO 'CATS!
