Amid a stretch of daunting SEC matchups for Tennessee, was an upset in the making in Lexington on Saturday night?
Not if John Wall had anything to say about it.
Wall scored 24 points and No. 2 Kentucky used a late second half run to rally past 12th-ranked Tennessee 73-62 at Rupp Arena on Saturday.
Kentucky's Eric Bledsoe chipped in 16 second-half points for the Wildcats, including three 3-pointers. Bobby Maze led the Vols with 15, while Melvin Goins came off the bench for 14.
Tennessee's Wayne Chism came off the bench came off the bench for 12 points after suffering a twisted ankle in the Vols' contest against Vanderbilt.
The Vols did a solid job of containing Kentucky's other freshman phenom, DeMarcus Cousins, limiting the post player to 5 points on 2-of-6 shooting.
