Now that was a fun half of basketball. After 20 minutes of play, Kentucky leads Auburn 40-29. The Cats finished the half on an 8-0 run in 1:34 and held the Tigers without a field goal for the last 2:53.
Oscar Tshiebwe already has a double-double, with 14 points and 11 rebounds. Oscar now has 44 double-doubles as a Wildcat, which moves him into third place on UK’s all-time list behind Dan Issel (64) and Cotton Nash (48). Cason Wallace is the next leading scorer, with 11 points, including two threes. Wallace was 0-16 from three in the previous four games, so let’s hope he’s shot himself out of that slump.
