OXFORD, Miss. — Normally for a team in Kentucky’s position — fighting tooth and nail to earn an NCAA Tournament bid as it lives life on the bubble — a win, any win, is welcomed.
Kentucky got what it needed Tuesday, topping Ole Miss on the road 75-66 in a game that was much closer for most of its 40 minutes.
And it has Antonio Reeves to thank for it. The senior guard poured in a game-high 27 points when the Wildcats (15-7, 6-3 SEC) were in dire need of a spark.
