Game Preview

Tennessee coach Rick Barnes appears more bullish about a struggling Kentucky team than the Wildcats’ fans are, with the two teams set to clash Saturday in Knoxville, Tenn., in the first of two scheduled meetings this season.

The Wildcats (10-6, 1-3 Southeastern Conference) began the season ranked No. 4 in the country but are off to their worst start in league play since the 1986-87 campaign and have fallen out of the Top 25.

Many fans have expressed their frustrations with the team and coach John Calipari on social media. One fan even showed up at Rupp Arena on Tuesday night with a sign urging Calipari to “Please go to Texas,” referring to the Longhorns’ bench opening. And that was before the Wildcats went on to lose to South Carolina to have their home winning streak snapped at 28 games.
