Rick Barnes has turned Kentucky vs. Tennessee into seesaw affair
Rick Barnes Talks Before The Vols Travel To Kentucky
Kentucky and Tennessee will meet on the hardwood for the 238th time on Saturday night at Rupp Arena. No program has more wins over the Wildcats than the Volunteers (77) but that is mostly due to the fact that these two SEC programs play multiple times per season. Despite Kentucky’s overall dominance in the series (.678 winning percentage), the Vols have made the rivalry series much more interesting in recent seasons.
Following the 2014-15 season, Tennessee hired former George Mason, Providence, Clemson, and Texas head coach Rick Barnes to take over the basketball program on Rocky Top. The 69-year-old has thrived at Tennessee with four 25-plus win seasons, five consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances, one SEC regular season title, and one SEC Tournament title. These are the glory years for the Vols on the hardwood.
Barnes has helped make the Kentucky series a dead heat.
From 2010-15, John Calipari was 9-3 against Tennessee as Kentucky’s head men’s basketball coach with season sweeps in 2011 and 2012 against Bruce Pearl and Cuonzo Martin. That has changed against Barnes.
Since his arrival in Knoxville, Barnes has accumulated a 10-9 record against Kentucky with two wins in the SEC Tournament and a regular season sweep in 2018. Last year was the first season under Barnes where Tennessee did not collect a victory against Kentucky after the Wildcats swept the Vols for the first time in a decade.
Entering a pivotal college basketball weekend, Kentucky and Tennessee are fresh off home losses and each trails Alabama (7-1) in the SEC title race. Both need a win to keep pace. Saturday night in downtown Lexington will be a big moment. Barnes’ track record tells us that Tennessee is a legitimate threat to win on the road. Tennessee has won three times in Rupp Arena under Barnes.
Kentucky will be looking for three wins in a row in this series for the first time since 2012-13. An argument can be made that this is the best current basketball rivalry in the SEC.

WASHINGTON COUNTY, Tenn. (WCYB) — The Washington County, Tennessee Isaiah 117 House hosted a fundraiser event Tuesday to help support area children who are entering the foster care system.
The event took at Boones Creek Christian Church where organizers hope to raise around $20,000 to go towards funds for the house and raise awareness for the organization.
The organization which began in the Tri-Cities now has more than 60 houses in 13 states.
The group helps care for children who are entering foster care while they are waiting on their foster placement.
“We feel like we have an obligation to continue to do this for the generations to come, for the children who haven’t been born yet,” Washington County Isaiah 1:17 House Support Coordinator Katie Wilt said. “We know they are going to need us. We wish they didn’t but we know that they are, so part of this luncheon is to fundraise to make sure that we are able to sustain the care and the hope for the children of the future.”

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — Gov. Bill Lee and First Lady Maria Lee have wrapped up a yearlong, statewide America 250 tour that spotlighted Tennessee’s role in the nation’s history.
The tour, themed “Tennessee: The Original Frontier”, highlighted people, places and events tied to Tennessee’s contributions to America. Over the past year, Lee visited all 95 counties as part of the effort to commemorate the milestone with Tennesseans across the state.
Over the past year, Maria and I have traveled from Mountain City to Memphis, and we’ve been reminded that our state’s greatest strength is its people,” Lee said. “As America prepares to celebrate 250 years of independence, Tennesseans can take pride in the Volunteer Spirit carried forward in the individuals, communities, and stories that have helped shape our nation from the very beginning.
The tour concluded in Van Buren County at the same venue where Lee held his first gubernatorial campaign event in 2017, returning to the place where his statewide journey began.
