The Kentucky Wildcats men’s basketball team opened the season Monday night in Lexington against Howard University. Despite Oscar Tshiebwe, Sahvir Wheeler, and Daimion Collins being out, the Cats still pulled out a large victory, scoring 95 points against Howard’s 63.
The Cats came out a little sluggish, only scoring six points in the first four minutes. But for the rest of the first half, Kentucky hit the “gas pedal” so to speak, going into halftime up 49-28.
The Cats then out-scored the Bison 46-37 in the second half.
Antonio Reeves led the team in scoring with 22 points, and we saw four Cats finish in double figures.
