After eight long, dragging months without Kentucky basketball in our lives, the 2020-21 team made the wait worthwhile in their return to action with an 81-45 blowout victory over Morehead State to open the season.
The new-look Wildcats featuring zero returning production from last year’s group – the lone returnee, Keion Brooks Jr., missed the game with a leg injury – took over from the opening tip and never looked back. Following a circus shot from Isaiah Jackson to open the game, Morehead State tied the game at 2-2, the closest they would get the rest of the way.
