Kentucky got into the driver’s seat for an SEC road win, but missed opportunities sent the Cats back to Lexington with a 76-68 loss.
The Cats made the most out of an ugly game by building up a 14-point lead with 11:34 to play. For the final eleven-plus minutes, Kentucky did a whole lot of fouling and not a lot of scoring. The Cats closed the game by scoring just 11 more points. They weren’t making shots and they weren’t much better at the free throw line either, knocking down just 3-8 form the charity stripe in the final four minutes.
