One week after Kentucky came up short at home in a prime-time spot against Kansas, the Wildcats did not fail to finish the deal in front of a strong Rupp Arena crowd on Saturday night. Thanks to a solid offensive performance against a top-10 Florida defense, Kentucky left the floor with a Quadrant 2 win.
Cason Wallace led the way with 20 points on 10 field goal attempts with some big plays down the stretch when Kentucky’s defense had issues getting stops. But in the end, it was enough for a 72-67 win as the Wildcats improved to 16-7 (7-3) with another huge home game right around the corner on Tuesday when Arkansas makes the trip to Lexington.
