Episode 158: No. 1 Vols, No. 5 Cats clashing in Rupp

GoVols247's Wes Rucker and Grant Ramey went into Fort Rucker Studio — or the Fort Rucker Sun Room, in this case — to break down Tennessee’s as-expected win over South Carolina on Wednesday, the Vols’ upcoming showdown at Kentucky and the SEC championship race.LSU threw a wrench into the SEC title race with a Tuesday win at Kentucky, so now only the Tigers — not the Wildcats — are one game behind the unbeaten Vols in the conference standings. So now Tennessee isn’t just playing Kentucky in Rupp Arena. It’s playing an angry Kentucky team in Rupp Arena.The Wildcats rarely lose two consecutive games in Rupp, so Tennessee’s tough challenge now looks even tougher. But the Vols are ranked No. 1 nationally, have won 19 consecutive games and have won in several hostile environments this season, so they’re as up as anyone could be for the challenge.What matchups look good for Tennessee? What matchups looks less than good for Tennessee? Where could Kentucky hurt the Vols? Is Tennessee’s perimeter defense a concern? And did LSU’s win at Kentucky make the Tigers favorites to win the SEC, since Tennessee still has to play Kentucky twice, at LSU and at Auburn? Those and several other topics are discussed on this episode — an episode recorded outside the studio while the studio is being renovated
