Kentucky never trailed in a wire-to-wire 91-68 exhibition victory over a team from Argentina, San Lorenzo de Almagra.
But that seemingly seamless victory masked one of the oddest Kentucky games in decades.
The lights went out late in the first half Thursday night at the Atlantis Resort’s Imperial Arena. With the floor only dimly lit (think a smoky bar at closing time), the teams left the floor early with the promise of playing a 22-minute second half.
That surely would have been a record for longest half in basketball history.
Instead, it was decided to play a regulation 20 minutes.
