Tennessee entered Tuesday night’s showdown with Kentucky at Lexington, Ky., with a much better record and a much higher national ranking.

But the fourth-ranked Volunteers left Rupp Arena with their seven-game winning streak nothing more than a memory after the unranked Wildcats’ 84-74 victory.

Keith Bogans scored 21 points and Tayshaun Prince added 16 as Kentucky, 10-5 overall and 3-0 in the Southeastern Conference, ran its winning streak to seven games.
