Saturday was something to build on for the Kentucky Wildcats.
The No. 19 Cats played their best basketball of the new season, beating No. 9 North Carolina 80-72 in the CBS Sports Classic in Chicago.
The win was Kentucky’s first win of the season away from Rupp Arena and improved the Cats to 9-2 on the season.
Reid Travis brought exactly what Kentucky was hoping he’d bring as a grad transfer. He was the leader the Cats needed in t the half, scoring 16 of his 20 points to go with six rebounds and two blocks.
