No. 12 Kentucky establishes its dominance against No. 8 Miami in a 95-73 victory with assistance from freshman Wildcat Reed Sheppard, who collects 21 points.
UK basketball legacy Reed Sheppard credits the No. 12 Wildcats' dynamic team effort and their lively fanbase for an "unbelievable" outcome vs. the No. 8 Hurricanes.
Kentucky pours in 69 points in the first half, the most ever scored by any team in a half in Rupp Arena history, and rolls to a 118-82 win over visiting Marshall.
Strong shooting overall (33 of 64 for .516) and especially on timely threes (12 of 25 for .480) enable the Wildcats to clip the Hawks in overtime, 96-88.
