Good morning, friends. It wasn’t as pretty as we all would have liked, but Kentucky beat Ole Miss 83-72 to finish the season with an 18-0 record in Rupp Arena. The Cats are now 24-6 overall, 13-4 in SEC play, and head to Gainesville this weekend to put a bow on the regular season. We’ve written a lot about the game already, so let’s run through the CliffsNotes before moving on with our day.
Kentucky shot 60% from the field (33 of 55), the second-best percentage of the season, but allowed Ole Miss to shoot 50% (29-58), well above their season average of 43.
