Rhyne Howard had a nice debut for Kentucky on Wednesday in its season opener, but Coach Matthew Mitchell said in the lead up to Sunday’s game against Southern he thought there was another gear in there.
Sunday, she found it. Howard scored 16 of her game-high 29 points in the first half, one more than her entire first game, and Kentucky rolled over its second Southwest Athletic Conference opponent in a row, 91-41, in Memorial Coliseum.
“Really proud of her for being that aggressive,” Mitchell said. “... I thought her teammates did a great job setting her up for some great catch and shoot threes.
