Despite some ugly stretches, the Kentucky Wildcats rolled to their third straight victory, opening SEC play with a 83-56 win over Missouri on Wednesday night at Rupp Arena.
With the win, the Wildcats not only start 1-0 start in conference play, but also avenge a 75-70 loss to the Tigers last season. Mizzou was without its head coach Cuonzo Martin, who was out due to COVID-19. Assistant coach Cornell Martin, in his fifth season, took over as interim head coach.
After missing time recently due to injury, both Lance Ware and Dontaie Allen played limited minutes in this one, so this was a rare game Kentucky had everyone healthy to play.
