It wasn’t always pretty at times, but Kentucky men’s basketball came away with a comfortable win over Duquesne.
On Friday night in Rupp Arena, the No. 4 Wildcats took down the Dukes by a final score of 77-52. Kentucky was once again without reigning national player of the year, Oscar Tshiebwe, along with sophomore forward Daimion Collins, but head coach John Calipari did get his starting point guard back. Sahvir Wheeler returned for the first time since he was injured in the opening exhibition game, nearly posting a triple-double with 11 points, six rebounds, and 11 assists in 27 minutes off the bench.
