    Michael Kidd-Gilchrist was angry after he and fellow freshman Anthony Davis didn't get much help from their Kentucky teammates in the first half against Tennessee. He made sure the Wildcats knew it at halftime.

    "He was the main one who came into the locker room mad," Davis said. "(He was) really feisty because we weren't playing like we were supposed to. That's just how he plays. You know he's got a will to win, and he brings a lot."

    His anger inspired the second-ranked Wildcats, who wore the Volunteers down with more pressing defense and sharper shooting. Kentucky overcame an eight-point deficit in the second half for a 65-62 victory Saturday.
