No. 12 UK held off a late push from No. 16 Louisville to win its fourth consecutive game against the Cardinals, and there were plenty takeaways that show the Cats are ready to turn the corner in preparation for March.
The Battle of the Bluegrass proved to be a back-and-fourth fight for the majority of the game with both teams starting a little tight, committing some uncharacteristic turnovers and forcing shots. But there was one constant throughout the game – the Rupp Arena crowd.
Big Blue Nation was loud and proud, even when the Cats were down by five with about six minutes to go in the first half.
