During the first half of the Kentucky-LSU game, color analyst Jay Bilas said it best when he called the game an “SEC fistfight”. That is exactly what went on at the Maravich Assembly Center.
When the final buzzer hit triple zeroes, Will Wade’s team walked away with a big-time 65-60 victory over No. 16 Kentucky. For the Wildcats, it was another road contest where things would just not bounce their way.
The Wildcats lost both point guards to injury, had Oscar Tshiebwe sit most of the first half with foul trouble, and went over seven minutes without scoring in the second half.
