Cats get defensive, hold Gamecocks to season-low point total in rout

Surely Kentucky’s dominating 76-48 victory Tuesday night did not come as a shock to South Carolina Coach Frank Martin.

On Monday, he spoke of how well Kentucky had been playing.

“Cal’s got them guys playing at a high, high level like he usually does this time of year,” Martin said of UK Coach John Calipari. “They clearly have guys that care to defend.”

Kentucky held South Carolina to a season-low point total. In fact, it was 17 points fewer than the Gamecocks’ previous low, which came in a 65-52 victory over USC Upstate on Nov. 6.
