The Kentucky Wildcats pulled out a victory in their first Saturday game of the year in Rupp Arena, defeating Yale 69-59.
In what became a back-and-forth game, we saw runs where the offense looked great, and then where it struggled far too much against a vastly undersized Bulldogs squad.
The Cats started the first half firing and saw Cason Wallace score eight early points, leading to an early double-digit lead that was trimmed to six at halftime.
Thanks to a monster second half from Oscar Tshiebwe, Kentucky would prevail with a 10-point win.
Kentucky’s next game is one of the biggest of the regular season next Saturday against UCLA in New York.
