LEXINGTON, Ky. — A Kentucky-Louisville basketball rivalry game that was supposed to be a lopsided affair was exactly that Saturday afternoon in Rupp Arena.
The Cats defeated the Cards, 86-63, jumping out to a double-digit lead on their in-state rivals before three minutes had ticked off the clock and maintaining a comfortable advantage the rest of the way.
As uneven as 19th-ranked Kentucky (9-4) has been this season — and as bad as the Cats looked three days earlier in a 14-point loss at Missouri — this was an expected result. Louisville (2-12) has been much, much worse.
