The Kentucky Wildcats were back on the court as they faced off with Virginia Military Institute, who came into Rupp Arena back in 2008 and knocked off a Billy Gillispie coached team.
Right out of the gate, VMI was lights out from three. Which it doesn’t matter how good or bad a team is when an opponent walks into Rupp they automatically become knockdown three-point shooters and that led to VMI having an 18-16 lead at the under 12 media timeout.
Each team battled back and forth and with just under 8 minutes remaining in the half, VMI found themselves in a 24-24 tie with the No.
