LEXINGTON – Seconds after the opening tip of Kentucky’s matchup with UAB, Ashton Hagans found Nick Richards for a dunk and a 2-0 lead in a premonition of things to come.
Hagans knifed through the lane all evening long, drawing an extra defender and deftly finding shooters and dunkers alike. He finished with 12 assists, tied for a career-best, as UK topped UAB 69-58 Friday in Rupp Arena to improve to 6-1.
