Kentucky basketball gets bounce-back win vs. Florida A&M: 3 takeaways

LEXINGTON, Ky. — The Kentucky men's basketball team was certainly in the market for a bounce-back win after last weekend's loss to No. 16 UCLA at Madison Square Garden.

Florida A&M gift wrapped a victory and left it on the Wildcats' doorstep, but head coach John Calipari didn't appear satisfied with the product at times during his team's 88-68 win.

No. 19 UK (8-3) trailed FAMU (2-8) for just 30 seconds Wednesday night at Rupp Arena. In their 63-53 loss to the Bruins in the CBS Sports Classic, the Wildcats trailed for nearly 36 minutes.
