It took Kentucky a little bit to warm up, but they’ve opened up a nice lead on the Howard Bison in tonight’s season-opener. After 20 minutes of play, it’s Kentucky 49, Howard 26.
Two Wildcats are in double figures: Antonio Reeves with 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-7 3PT) and CJ Fredrick with 11 (2-4 FG, 1-3 3PT, 6-7 FT). Jacob Toppin and Cason Wallace are close behind with 9 and 8, respectively. Ugonna Onyenso continues to be a pleasant surprise, chipping in four points, four rebounds, and three blocks in 11 minutes.
Kentucky got off to a cold start but finished the half shooting 51.
