Kentucky carved up Tennessee Tech on Thanksgiving Eve, rolling to a 104–54 win in Rupp Arena. The Wildcats shot 59 percent from the field, 50 percent from three, and piled up 61 second-half points in a game that started slow, but never felt competitive after halftime. UK scored 100+ points for the second time this season.
Here’s how the Cats stuffed the box score before heading into tomorrow’s holiday, complete with the worst Thanksgiving puns I can make in a basketball recap. Forgive me. I am in the festive spirit, and very hungry.

Kentucky shared the ball the way Mark Pope’s offense should, tallying 27 assists on 39 made baskets, the team’s highest total of the season.
