After failing its first tests of the season vs. Michigan State and Gonzaga, Kentucky desperately needed a win today vs. Michigan in London. Thanks to some clutch play by a freshman, the Cats will be able to take one home with them.
Kentucky’s 73-69 win over Michigan is its first away from Rupp Arena this season and the first against a Power Five opponent. It came at a crucial time. Not only was the Big Blue Nation getting a little restless, if Kentucky wants to compete for a good seed in the NCAA Tournament, it can’t afford many more missteps along the way.
