Kentucky beats Southern: 5 things to know and postgame banter

The Kentucky Wildcats beat Sean Woods’ Southern Jaguars on Tuesday night by a score of 76-64.

In what’s becoming rather commonplace, the Cats got off to a slow start in this one as the Jaguars jumped out to a 9-2 lead. After going on a couple of quick runs, UK was able to take a 38-34 lead into halftime.

After the break, it didn't get any prettier. Kentucky struggled to score from deep and from the free throw line. Overall, they just looked flat, which isn't ideal after eight days off. They better get it together because Saturday will be their first real test since the season opener.
