Tennessee senior guard Alberta Auguste made a fast recovery from an injury suffered in Friday's practice and will play today in a women's basketball game against Kentucky.
Jenny Moshak, the Lady Vols assistant athletic director for sports medicine, said Auguste suffered a strained left biceps when she was struck while reaching forward for the basketball. The injury initially was thought to involve Auguste's shoulder. She left Pratt Pavilion Friday wearing a sling.
Scouting Report: Kentucky is building a road-warrior reputation with a 3-0 record on the road in SEC play and a 4-2 overall mark away from Lexington, Ky.
The Wildcats won at No. 17 Georgia, 47-44, on Thursday.
Kentucky hasn't won in Knoxville since 1985, when the game was played at Stokely Athletics Center.
Tennessee won the season's first meeting, 65-40 in Lexington on Jan. 17.
"I thought we did a lot of great things, but we couldn't find a way to score,'' Kentucky coach Matthew Mitchell said. "Our defense has to be there again Sunday, but we also have to get better offensively."

Lookout for the road warriors and coach Matt Mitchell. Pretty impressive win over Andy Landers' Dawgs. We need to have a knock-em-out early attitude today in TBA. Get our bench some valuable minutes on court. Come on Lady Vols, get some excitement going today before I OD on Tom Brady.
