The Kentucky Wildcats opened up the 2019-2020 season with an exciting 69-62 win over the No. 1 Michigan State Spartans. Led in scoring by freshman Tyrese Maxey, who put up an impressive 26 points in his debut, defense was the story of the day for the young Wildcats.
The first half was riddled with whistles as it seemed like there was a foul every 20-30 seconds. But both teams seemed to settle in the second half and put some offensive sets together that should give both fan bases something to look forward to.
