Hide ya kids, Hide ya wife

Tennessee is coming in town so its time to prepare for Bruce Pearl and the gang (pun intended). This will be the first SEC game for Pearl after serving an 8 game suspension handed down from SEC Commissioner Mike Slive. This will also be the first time this year that Bruce comes out in his Orange blazer, as he's promised to do for every UK and Vandy game. But then again maybe he won't, it wouldn't be the first time he's lied to us (or the NCAA, see suspension).

Coach Cal has already called this Vol team one of the " deepest and most talented teams in the conference" and we've already seen this Jekyll and Hyde team lose to the likes of Oakland, Charleston, USC, and Arkansas. As well as winning games against Villanova, Pitt, Memphis, and Vandy.

The tale of this game will be which Tennessee team shows up, and if Kentucky can stay out of foul trouble long enough to get Tennessee on the ropes. It should be a very exciting game and a great atmosphere at Rupp despite lackluster crowd noise the previous games.

I look for Kentucky to come out amped up and focused right out of the gate and pull off a win in a game that stays within 6-10 points most of the game. But i guess for the Vols, road games aren't so bad, when your home games are played on a court named after the ladies coach.#BoomRoasted
