The 7-2 Kentucky Wildcats faced off with the 4-4 Utah Utes in Rupp Arena Saturday night as they were trying to get the taste of defeat out of their mouth and get back on the winning side of things.
Out of the gate, the Cats looked a little sluggish as they quickly fell behind 10-2. However, after the first five minutes of the game it was all Cats the rest of the half.
Keldon Johnson was dominant in the first half as he started the game 5-5 from three-point land. The Cats used a suffocating defensive performance to build up a 30-19 lead with just under 8 minutes left in the half.
