Wednesday Headlines: Cats Take Down the Vols

The night ended in ‘Go Big Blue’ chants.

Good morning, BBN!

What a game that was last night.

No Lamont Butler. No Andrew Carr. Yet, the Kentucky Wildcats secured another top-10 victory over the rival Tennessee Volunteers.

Mark Pope has now beaten Duke, Louisville, and Tennessee in his first season at Kentucky —truly elite stuff.

Everyone stepped up for the Cats last night, especially Amari Williams (10 PTS, 15 REB, 4 AST) and Kobe Brea (18 PTS, 5/5 FGM, 3/3 3PM).

Trent Noah also had a massive role in that win, playing some strong defense and hitting this deep 3 that gave this team a lot of energy.

Deep catch and shoot is sooooo good from @trentnoah2_.

This team is special. Now, the focus shifts to Cal’s return. That one is going to be fun!
