QuoteLEXINGTON, Ky. --- Tennessee led No. 13 Kentucky for the first three minutes, 40 seconds Tuesday night. The other 36 minutes, 20 seconds didn't go so well.

Malik Monk scored a game-high 20 points and Derek Willis added another 16 as the Wildcats took care of Tennessee 83-58 in front of an announced crowd of 24,391 at Rupp...

Sophomore forward Admiral Schofield scored 17 points for Tennessee (14-12, 6-7 SEC) and freshman point guard Jordan Bone had 15. Freshman forward Grant Williams added eight points and Robert Hubbs, after scoring 25 points in the Vols 82-80 upset of then-No. 4 Kentucky on Jan. 24 in Knoxville, finished with seven.

Kentucky (21-5, 11-2) made 11 of 25 from the 3-point line and shot 46.4 percent (32-69) from the field, recording 17 assists and committing seven turnovers. De'Aaron Fox finished with 13 point and six assists for the Wildcats before fouling out.

Tennessee scored its season-low 58 points while shooting 34.6 percent (18-52) from the field and 18.8 percent (3-16) from the 3-point line, committing 13 turnovers while recording just seven assists.

Vols jumped out to a 5-0 lead. Then Kentucky started rolling.

The lead was 19 points with 14:52 left, after @Swipathef0x accounted for two steals on two possessions, the first ending with a lob to Willis and the second in a layup he finished on his own.

It was a 25-point Kentucky lead with 9:26 to go, after Isaiah Briscoe drove and scored. Then 28, the biggest lead of the night, with 5:04 left, after another Fox layup.

Vols never got closer than 13 in the second half.

Tennessee is back at home at Thompson-Boling Arena on Saturday (TV: SEC Network, 1 p.m. EST) against Missouri (7-17, 2-10).
