The Great Danes of Albany (0-5) put up a valiant effort in the first half, but No. 10 Kentucky Men’s Basketball (4-1) proved why it’s a top 10 in the nation. The Wildcats shrugged off a slow first-half start to roll over Albany, winning 86-61 on Monday night in Rupp Arena.
While foul trouble wasn’t as big of an issue early on against Albany as it was against Ohio, the numbers still stacked up quickly. Oscar Tshiebwe was tagged with his first personal around the 17-minute mark and then his second around the five-minute mark of the first half.
