There isn’t much to hate about Kentucky‘s first-half performance, and there really isn’t much to love about Eastern Illinois’ first-half performance. The Wildcats lead by 28 with a 47-19 score at the break, and even that feels like we’re shortchanging the blue and white through 20 minutes.
The Panthers have been able to do next to nothing offensively, held to just 24.1 percent overall and 27.3 percent from deep with one player, JT Elder, scoring multiple buckets at the break. On the other end, the Wildcats are shooting 52.9 percent from the field and 31.
