Housley, who called his team "soft" after Friday night's 6-2 loss to the New York Rangers, said his players were in good spirits during practice, which he used to try to refocus the team after a poor defensive showing against the Rangers.

The Wildcats, who are accustomed to being the top team in college basketball, got a visit from Tennessee, the team that currently occupies that number one ranking. But Reid Travis and company defended their home court and took down the Volunteers 86-69. Photo by the University of Kentucky
