5 more thoughts and postgame notes from Kentucky’s win over Michigan State

The Kentucky Wildcats were at Madison Square Garden for the season opener against the top-ranked Michigan State Spartans.

Former Kentucky stars John Wall and Terrence Jones were in attendance to see the new group of Cats and were just as into the game as the rest of BBN.

Right from the tip, one thing was certain: The Cats were locked in defensively, as they held MSU to just 7 points by the under 16 timeout and held an 11-7 lead.

The Cats had a chance to pull away early but couldn’t find a rhythm offensively as each team scored just 2 more points by the under 12 timeout.
