Winning ugly is better than losing pretty. That’s what many across the Commonwealth will be saying over the next 24 hours as a sluggish first-half performance by Kentucky’s offense was followed by a sluggish second-half performance by Kentucky’s defense.

Three notable splash plays were key to Kentucky pulling away from Walt Wells‘ scrappy Colonels on Saturday afternoon in Lexington.
