The Kentucky Wildcats, which headed to Knoxville as double-digit underdogs, just stunned No. 5 Tennessee 63-56.
The win gives the Cats (11-6, 2-3 SEC) a much-needed Quad 1 victory.
Antonio Reeves led Kentucky with 18 points off the bench. Reeves was 8-for-8 from the free throw line, including a couple in the closing seconds to secure the win.

Lance Ware finished with 2 points and 2 big balls (see video above).
Kentucky heads back to Lexington now with hopes of winning streak as they prepare to host Georgia and Texas A&M next week.
