There was no post-Thanksgiving hangover for the Kentucky Wildcats. No sluggish play after eating that extra slice of pumpkin pie. The team entering the matchup averaging 89.6 points with 11.6 made threes per contest somehow made those numbers look conservative in a historic offensive performance. They flirted with them in the first half alone, dropping 69 at the break, the most points scored inside Rupp Arena and fourth-most in program history.
And then the second half started, the Wildcats hitting their season average with 13:34 to go and the century mark with eight minutes and change remaining.
