Tennessee practiced at Berea College on Friday as the Vols headed for Saturday’s game against Kentucky.
With thanks to a member of the Tennessee press corps, here’s a brief question-and-answer session with UT Coach Bruce Pearl:
Q: What do you think of Saturday’s showdown in Rupp Arena:
Pearl: “When I first came to Tennessee, I wanted to have meaningful games at Rupp Arena, and this game is for first place.”
Q: How does Patrick Patterson’s presence impact the game?
Pearl: “With Patterson being out there, they are a different cover. Wayne (Chism) has played Patterson well.”
Q: How do you feel about your rebuilt backcourt?
Pearl: “In the backcourt, we’ve got three brand-new players in Bobby Maze, Scotty Hopson, and Cameron Tatum and Josh Tabb is playing point guard for the first time in his career.
“Can you win a championship with the guard play we’re getting? The answer is no. The guard play has got to improve.”
