Don’t blink now Kentucky basketball wins again

The Kentucky basketball team always makes games an adventure but instead of panic in their eyes, this team with two straight wins has a more steely-eyed look of confidence after knocking off Vanderbilt 82-78.

Now that doesn’t mean they have morphed into a title contender but smiles, laughter, and hugs of joy in place of consolation are going a long way to finishing the season on a high note.

The Wildcats had five players finish in double figures led by Davion Mintz with 18, and followed by Jacob Toppin (16), Isaiah Jackson (15), Brandon Boston Jr.
