A clear difference from just two weeks ago can be seen for Tennessee. Indeed 14 days ago UT entered Kentucky as the nation’s top ranked college basketball team. They departed Rupp Arena as discredited 86-69 losers to U of K. In fact, the defeat was emblematic of a betting on college basketball value drop by the Volunteers. Contrarily Kentucky is on their hottest profit streak of the season. But all of that can be reversed on Saturday afternoon. Tennessee will now get the Wildcats on their own home court. And revenge will be on the minds of a sellout crowd.
