NASHVILLE, March 13 (UPI) -- DeMarcus Cousins pumped in 19 points and pulled down 15 rebounds Saturday as No. 2 Kentucky downed No. 13 Tennessee 74-45 in an SEC Tournament semifinal.

Eric Bledsoe got 17 points, including five 3-pointers, while John Wall chipped in with 14 points, nine assists and six rebounds for Kentucky (31-2), which was to meet the winner of Saturday's Vanderbilt-Mississippi State semifinal.
