A pair of SEC rivals will be squared on Sweet 16 on Friday.
No. 3 seed Kentucky has given Tennessee No. 2 in one of these 8 matchup odd quirks on Thursday and Friday, passing Tennessee No. 2 out of seven losses this season, but I think the third time will be appealing to volunteers.

Tennessee vs. Kentucky prediction
There's one big statistic that I believe the Wildcats have been twice this season at Tennessee twice, that is, they may have shot three points.
Kentucky went 24-12 from downtown in both meetings with Tennessee, doubled out of the Wildcats' five innings, shooting at least 50% this season, surpassing the arc.
Kentucky vs Tennessee Pick
The Wildcats are one of the best 3-point shooting teams in the country, reaching 37.4% of attempts beyond the arc, but it is the 25th best rating in college basketball, and its type of output was not very distinctive for volunteers.
Tennessee has been suffocating beyond the arc outside of his matchup with Kentucky, bringing his opponents from three to just 28.3%.
Do you bet on college basketball?
The two Kentucky games were the only time their opponents have shot above 44.4% since the third inning of this season.
Sounds like a fluke to me.
Play: Kentucky with a total of less than 69.5 (-110, betMGM Sportsbook)
