Wes Rucker, a Tennessee writer for 24/7 Sports, says this year’s Tennessee team reminds him of the 1995-96 Kentucky Wildcats.
When you stop laughing, check out his comments:
This Tennessee team reminds me so much of the 1995-96 Kentucky team. Those Cats had more surefire NBA talents, but the pace, the number of dangerous scorers and so many other things are so similar.

Rucker has been trying to defend his ridiculous take all night:
Statistical comparison between 1995-96 Kentucky and 2018-19 Tennessee.
My point was valid.

When did sports stop becoming a bottom-line-stats thing?

Kentucky fans are gonna get sooooo mad about that comparison.
– That UK team is obviously better than this UT team.
– That UK team had more NBA Draft picks.
– But the stats are very, very similar.
Look at the numbers.

And I never said they were better.
I said their results and their stats to this point are ridiculously similar. And they are. https://t.co/tFB3KL44fY

It was me.
Let me help you.
-Read EXACTLY what I wrote.
-Look at the numbers.
-Realize I’m correct.
-Quietly go the corner in timeout and think before running your mouth again. https://t.co/JgpR7jAdKV— Wes Rucker (@wesrucker247) February 3, 2019
Yeah. Not so much. But, Tennessee is a good team.
