Kentucky dominates Morehead State in season opener: Everything to know

Kentucky Wildcats men’s basketball is finally back.

A long 263 days since Kentucky’s comeback victory over Florida that would mark the sudden end to the 2019-20 season amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the Wildcats were back in action Wednesday night as they hosted the Morehead State Eagles at Rupp Arena.

Not a single player that played in Kentucky’s last game took the court for the Wildcats Wednesday, as Keion Brooks Jr. missed the game as he recovers from a calf injury.

Despite having 10 new faces play in the season opener, the Cats looked mighty impressive as they cruised to an 81-45 win over the Eagles.
