After the way Kentucky ran their mouths and jawed at Tennessee (remember, early in this game one of UT's coaches had to walk a UK player away from barking at the Tennessee bench, for one), and how the media ran down Tennessee for being overrated in the wake of their loss in Lexington, I for one can understand Admiral taking aim at the rim.
I do get a bit of a chuckle from the Kentucky fans going all "ooooh, you shouldn't have done that, we'll really beat you now, that's super motivating, we're going to whip you in Nashville." Anyone in this rivalry needing that dunk to motivate themselves is late to the damn party.
