Man, did we all need that. With the 1966 team in the house, Kentucky overcame an alarmingly slow start and Jaland Lowe reinjuring his shoulder to cruise to a 92-68 win over Mississippi State. Throw the first ten minutes out, and there’s a lot to like in this one. In turn, the highlight reel is pretty fun.
Four Wildcats finished in double figures, led by Otega Oweh with 22 points. Oweh had several dunks and hit a few big threes to push Kentucky’s lead into comfortable territory in the second half; however, Kam Williams and Malachi Moreno were the stars of the first half, combining for 19 points to put Kentucky up five at the break.
