At the half: Kentucky 61, Kentucky State 25

Now that’s more like it. After 20 minutes of play, your University of Kentucky Wildcats lead the Kentucky State Thorobreds 61-25.

After a lackluster offensive showing in the first exhibition, the Cats are much improved tonight, shooting 50% (21-42) from the field and 50% from three (8-16). Three Kentucky players are in double figures so far: Cason Wallace with 12 points, CJ Fredrick with 11, and Antonio Reeves with 10. Fredrick also has a team-high five assists.

Even with Oscar Tshiebwe (knee) and Daimion Collins (personal) out, Kentucky is winning the battle of the boards with 25 rebounds to Kentucky State’s 19.
