Highlights, box score and MVP from Kentucky’s win over Yale

Never wake a sleeping giant.

That’s the lesson the Yale Bulldogs learned the hard way on Saturday afternoon as Kentucky Wildcats superstar Oscar Tshiebwe dominated the second half to lift the Wildcats to a 69-59 win at Rupp Arena.

The reigning National Player of the Year had a quiet six points in the first half as the Wildcats led 25-15 at the 10:17 mark. However, that’s when things went off the rails for the Kentucky offense as the Wildcats managed just eight more points over the final ten minutes to hold on to a 33-27 halftime lead.
