UK Rides Junior Nick Richards to First SEC Win

Similar to what we’ve done with the next day football recaps, we’re here to breakdown the game and what tell you what happened in Kentucky’s most recent performance with some advanced stats on how each side did and what other happenings decided the outcome. Yesterday in Rupp Arena, Nick Richards put the team on his back.

Despite a very slow start, UK shook off some rust and offensive sluggishness to cruise to a double-digit victory and improve to 13-1 against Missouri all-time. It was an ugly basketball game, but the guys in the white jerseys played hard and pulled away with some timely made baskets and efficiency at the charity stripe.
