Kentucky mens basketball (21-10) defeated Arkansas (19-12) 88-79 on Saturday afternoon to wrap-up its regular season before traveling to Nashville, Tennessee, for the SEC Tournament.
The Cats would enter Fayetteville against an Arkansas team that won by 15 at Rupp Arena about a month prior with no point guards healthy for John Calipari’s squad as both Sahvir Wheeler and Cason Wallace were out. To make matters worse, CJ Fredrick also battled through some knocks as well.
Despite entering shorthanded, the Wildcats had little to fear as Antonio Reeves ensured that injuries wouldn’t dampen Kentucky’s offense, finishing with 37 points on only two made 3-pointers.
