LEXINGTON, Ky. — What looked like an easy Saturday afternoon at Rupp Arena turned into a tough day for the Kentucky Wildcats.
UK jumped out to a double-digit lead on Yale before the midway point of the first half, and it appeared the Cats would coast against an overmatched team missing its best player. Instead, Kentucky went cold, the Bulldogs continued to battle, and the result was an often ugly affair that UK fans were forced to keep watching to know for sure what the final outcome would be.
That final score? Kentucky 69, Yale 59.
