In the last home game of the season, the Kentucky Wildcats knocked off the Ole Miss Rebels by a final score of 83-72.
Kentucky had a solid first half in the season finale at Rupp. With complete efforts across the board, it was the transition game that really gave Ole Miss trouble. Alongside that speed, the Cats shot 57% percent from the field, and 55% from three to give them a 44-35 lead going into the half.
Ole Miss came out in the second half, and Kermit Davis had his squad ready to fight until the very end.
