3 Risers and 3 fallers from Kentucky’s win over Florida A&M
Two steps forward and one step back. That was the theme on Wednesday night as the Kentucky Wildcats held off the Florida A&M Rattlers 88-68 at Rupp Arena.
With a new starting lineup that included Chris Livingston and Lance Ware, the Wildcats took a big step forward on the offensive end, shooting 52.5% from the field on 31-of-59 shooting. The Wildcats also hit 13-of-23 three-pointers (56.5%).
However, a shaky defensive effort allowed one of the worst teams in all of college basketball to cut the lead to seven points (69-62) with six minutes left in regulation as Kentucky went on a 13-2 run over the final 3:46 to seal the win.
