No. 4 Kentucky (2-0) defeated Duquesne 77-52 on Friday night to secure its second consecutive win to start the season.
The victory came on the back of the Cats holding the Dukes to shooting 30% from the field with only a few lead changes early on in the first half.
Several minutes into the game, Kentucky point guard Sahvir Wheeler checked in for the first time during the regular season after suffering a minor knee injury in UK’s first exhibition.
He wasted no time getting back into the flow of the game, recording six assists by the end of the half.
