The Kentucky Wildcats men’s basketball team tipped off its season on Monday night with an 86-46 blowout victory over New Mexico State University.
The Wildcats and Aggies had a rather close game in the first half, with Kentucky leading by just eight. But John Calipari’s team put on a clinic, out-scoring NMSU by 32 in the second half for their first win of the 2023-2024 season.
It had to be nice for Big Blue Nation to see Kentucky do what they were supposed to do — which was blow out a team that comes to Rupp Arena early in the year and isn’t expected to post much threat to pulling off an upset.
