Wildcats overcome early struggles, triumph over Bellarmine 60-41

No. 19 Kentucky mens basketball (5-2) defeated the Bellarmine Knights 60-41 to remain undefeated at home on Tuesday.

Antonio Reeves led the Cats with 18 points and five rebounds, shooting 50% (3-6) from the 3-point line.

His energy was matched by that of CJ Fredrick, who racked up 11 points, nine of which came from beyond the arc.

“When we (Fredrick and Reeves) were starting to hit some in the second half, our lead started to increase, and we put a lot of pressure on them to come down and have to get a bucket,” Fredrick said.
