Renowned sports analyst Paul Finebaum has made his prediction for the highly anticipated Sweet 16 matchup between the Tennessee Volunteers and the Kentucky Wildcats. Despite Kentucky’s dominance in their previous two meetings this season, Finebaum believes Tennessee will emerge victorious.

“I think Tennessee is due,” Finebaum said on his popular radio show. “They’ve lost two close games to Kentucky already this season, but I think they’ll find a way to win this one” [1].

Finebaum’s prediction is based on his assessment of Tennessee’s strengths and weaknesses. He believes the Vols have the talent and depth to match up with Kentucky’s potent offense.

“Tennessee has a strong defense, and they’ve shown they can compete with anyone in the country,” Finebaum said. “I think they’ll be able to slow down Kentucky’s offense and make enough plays on the other end to win” [1].

The game is set to take place on Friday at Lucas Oil Stadium, with tipoff scheduled for 7:39 p.m. ET [2]. Tennessee will look to advance to the Elite Eight for the first time since 2010, while Kentucky will aim to reach the regional finals for the 10th time under Coach John Calipari.
