It was the Rebels versus the Colonels. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. It was an 85-75 win for the Rebs, and now Andy Kennedy’s men are 2-0 to start the year. Also, the program is as a whole back over .500 in wins and losses for the first time since 1959. That’s neat.
There were 19-point leads, and there were opponents shooting 51 percent from the floor. There were dunks by transfers Bruce Stevens and Markel Crawford, and there were three rebounds and zero blocks by a 7’0 post player.
