FINAL: Kentucky WBB shakes off slow start, beats USC Upstate 67-44

It wasn’t pretty out the gate, but Kentucky Women’s Basketball broke free with a deadly third-quarter stretch to end non-conference play on a high note.

The No. 19 Wildcats (7-3) withstood a pesky South Carolina Upstate (8-3) by a final score of 67-44 on Sunday afternoon at Memorial Coliseum, utilizing a 28-7 run in the third frame to put the game out of reach. Kentucky trailed by as many as 11 points early in the second quarter before gathering its composure and sealing a victory. The ‘Cats will now take an 11-day hiatus as Southeastern Conference action begins on Dec.
