Likely to play Saturday Milicic (calf) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against Vanderbilt.

Impact Milicic is working through a calf issue, but it doesn't appear severe enough for him to be in jeopardy of missing Saturday's game. He's scored in double digits in three of his last four outings, and over that span he has averaged 16.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.0 steals over 28.8 minutes per game while shooting 67.6 percent from the field.

Nears double-double in loss Milicic finished with 16 points (6-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-3 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and two steals in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 75-64 loss to Kentucky.

Impact Milicic's 16 point outing was highly efficient, and he hit three triples as well. Still, it wasn't enough to prevent Tennessee from dropping a game to an extremely offensively talented Kentucky team. There's little more the forward could've done; he only turned the ball over once and committed one foul. He'll look to continue his high level of scoring and paint presence against Vanderbilt on Saturday.
