No.17 UK traveled to Tempe, Ariz., to take on the team’s first ranked opponent, No. 15 Arizona State. The Cats came back from a double digit deficit in the first half to force overtime, where they prevailed over the Sun Devils 68-64.
The team was lead by junior Makayla Epps in her first game of the season. In her first game back after serving her one-game suspension, the guard led the team in points with 20 and also scored the go-ahead basket for the Cats with under a minute left in the game.
The Cats comeback was in part thanks to the solid third quarter in which the Cats outscored the Sun Devils 21-10.
