Wish that I was on old Rocky Top down into Tennessee Hills.

0:05.8

Hello, KSR Nation.

0:07.4

Drew Franklin here with Billy R Sports.

0:10.2

After the Cats take down the Valls in Knoxville, 80 to 78, winning six out of seven in

0:17.5

Knoxville, completely ripping their hearts out.

0:19.8

That's what Kentucky has started doing lately, and they did it again today. I never doubted. Billy Rutledge doubted. We'll talk to him a little bit and you here on the Central Kentucky Select Toyota Dealers KSR post game show. We want to hear from you during this one hour celebration, 859 280-2-287. That spells cats, Billy. 2-287 spells cats. So call us there,

Not at excited to sing Rocky Top, though. Off the top rope to start the show, Drew. Rocky Top, you'll always be.

1:28.9

Oh, that was so fun. I'll admit the first half, it didn't feel great. I wanted to back out of the postgame show. Like many people, wasn't loving what I was seeing from the cats. Another halftime deficit. Not nearly as bad as the first half at LSU,

1:34.5

but a 11-0 run gave Tennessee separation that looked like it might stay for the whole game.

1:39.9

Kentucky was turning it over. I believe they had seven first-half turnovers. Tennessee's big guys were just bullying Moreno and anyone Kentucky could throw at them.

1:49.7

Kerry especially, he was having a big half.

1:52.1

Luckily, Jasper Johnson comes in for Denzel Aberdeen, who had foul trouble early on.

1:56.4
