Kentucky dominated Western Kentucky in every facet of the game en route to a 95-60 blowout victory Wednesday evening. The Wildcats shot better (56% to 33% overall, 45% to 15% from three), nearly doubled the Hilltoppers on the glass (50 rebounds to 27), and had more second-chance points (16-12), bench points (27-22), points in the paint (44-32), fastbreak points (16-10) and quintuple the number of total assists (27-5).
Western Kentucky head coach Rick Stansbury put it best: the Hilltoppers had no answers for the Wildcats in the head-to-head matchup.
“Sometimes you’ve just got to say the other team is better, and they were better in every area,” Stansbury said after the loss.
