Brandon Boston leads Kentucky basketball to its biggest scoring output this year.

It has been a long time coming for the Kentucky basketball team to see the scoreboard click over 80 points, but the Wildcats changed that with a fun size win over LSU 82-69 on Saturday.

Kentucky’s 82 points ended a drought of 18 consecutive games against Southeastern Conference opponents where the Wildcats scored 81 points or less, their longest streak since January 12, 2008, through January 10, 2009.

What has been commonplace to riddle off numbers of historical note in so many losses this year it is nice to see flattering ones after the win.
