The Kentucky Wildcats came out firing on all cylinders Wednesday night in front of a great crowd inside Rupp Arena.
UK jumped out to a 17-6 lead in their first SEC game of the season after just five minutes of play.
Led by Keion Brooks — Kentucky was making shots all over the floor. It was more of the same effortless offense we saw in the games against UNC and WKU.
But not so fast — a completely unexpected 12-0 run by Missouri erased the Cats’ double-digit lead and destroyed the entire vibe of what started out as a really fun half of basketball.
