Interesting Barnes stat

[BanditVol]

Rick Barnes vs. Kentucky: 4-4
Rick Barnes vs. John Calipari: Barnes leads, 5-4

Since Barnes is 3-2 against UK while at UT, that means he was 2-1 vs. Kentucky at Texas and beat Calipari somewhere else, likely when he was at Memphis.

I'll go ahead and give the source.  A lot more interesting stuff in here:

This is the Vols 224th game against UK 

We have beaten UK more than any other team

Haven't won in Rupp since 2006 (but I like our chances)

Barnes has almost as many wins as Calipari (669 vs. 652)

One I meant to add

As Bernard King walked off the court at Memorial Gym after a deflating 88-82 loss on Jan. 13, 1975, a Kentucky fan flipped a lit cigarette into the Tennessee legend's hair. Outraged, King vowed he would never lose to Kentucky again. He vigorously carried out that promise, finishing his career 5-1 against the Wildcats.

I don't expect to win tonight.  If anything, this is actually a bigger game for UK than it is for us.  Cal actually sounded desperate on twitter the other day begging the fans to be loud.  They're been inconsistent, but they can look as good as any team in the country on any given night.  And obviously, they are much, much, MUCH more talented than we are.  If we can beat them under these circumstances it will say a lot.

This is some ugly basketball.

They actually have more fouls than we do.  In Rupp.  I expect to pay dearly for that in the 2nd half.

well I hope you are pleasantly surprised    

Other than the usual couple of ticky tack fouls on Williams, the refs were surprisingly fair
