J.P. Prince had 20 points and Scotty Hopson added 15 and No. 19 Tennessee snapped No. 2 Kentucky‘s eight-game winning streak with a 74-65 victory Saturday. It was the second major upset of a highly rated program this year for the Volunteers (21-7, 9-5 Southeastern Conference), who also knocked off top-ranked Kansas last month. The Wildcats (27-2, 12-2) had trailed by 16 midway through the first half but managed to tie the game at 65 before Prince and Hopson scored the final nine points to clinch the victory.
