For the first 58 seconds, Missouri led Kentucky, but Derek Willis quickly dashed the Tigers’ dreams with a three, the first of four for him on the night. From there, the rout was on, and Kentucky didn’t let its foot off the gas until the very end, winning by a stunning score of 88-54.
From start to finish, tonight’s win was an incredible performance by the Cats, who, sure were playing a bad Missouri team, and yes, expectations should be tempered going into Saturday’s game at Kansas, but for now, let’s just enjoy this beatdown, because we haven’t had a lot of them this season.
