Kentucky mens basketball defeated Ole Miss 75-66 in Oxford, Mississippi, on Tuesday, improving to 5-1 in its last six games.
Despite the eventual victory, it was a slow one to start against the Rebels. With an ice storm brewing outside and news breaking that freshman point guard Cason Wallace would be out with a knee injury, the energy inside The Pavilion was low.
With Wallace averaging 13 points in his last four games, his absence was one that Kentucky would have to adjust to.
Regardless of Wallace’s absence, Ole Miss had injuries heading into the matchup themselves, being without its two biggest threats with Matthew Murrell, who averages 14.
