Given Kentucky's length and defensive potential, many expected the Jayhawksto struggle getting buckets at times. That certainly proved to be the case, but fortunately for Kansas, the Wildcats weren't exactly scoring in bunches either, resulting in a tough, and at times ugly, low-scoring affair.
Kentucky held a small advantage over KU at the halftime break, with both teams shooting under 35%. The score was 35-29 in Kentucky's favor, but it was hard to consider either team's performance as particularity impressive.
The second half featured one fewer point scored as than the first, as each team fell in some indeterminate position between playing bad offense and playing great defense.
