Media praises Kentucky for huge win over Kansas
And while Kansas showed plenty of tough defense — the Wildcats didn't top 1 point per possession until making free throws down the stretch — there was just too much Kentucky in the second half, with the Wildcats overcoming a double-digit first-half deficit to win 71-63. The Wildcats did so by exerting their dominance inside and on the glass, grabbing 49 rebounds to Kansas' 36 and holding Kansas center Dedric Lawson to few easy looks. Lawson finished with a 20-point, 15-rebound night, sure, but he took 18 shots to get those 20 points.
