OXFORD, Miss. — Normally, for a team in Kentucky’s position — fighting tooth and nail to earn an NCAA Tournament bid as it lives life on the bubble — a win, any win, is welcomed.
Kentucky got what it needed Tuesday, topping Ole Miss on the road 75-66.
And it has Antonio Reeves to thank for it. The senior guard poured in a game-high 25 points when the Wildcats (15-7, 6-3) were in dire need of a spark.
Kentucky was down key playmakers Cason Wallace (for the entire game because of a leg injury) and Sahvir Wheeler (for the final 3:35 of the first half after he fell to the floor with an undisclosed injury of his own).
