Kentucky
At the half: Kentucky trails Missouri 42-30
Constructive Vibes Solely night time isn’t going properly. After 20 minutes of play, No. 19 Kentucky trails Missouri 42-30. It sounds loopy to say, nevertheless it’s been even worse than that rating signifies.
Mizzou saved the momentum from the massive win over Illinois rolling, leaping out to a 17-7 lead 5 and a half minutes in. Except for a mini-run with 4 minutes left within the half, Kentucky simply hasn’t been in a position to sustain. The identical points are nonetheless plaguing this squad. The Cats are taking pictures 40% (12-30) from the sector, however solely 16.7% (2-12) from the three. The Tigers are making 48.5% (16-33) from the sector and 42.9% (6-14) from three. You’ll be able to’t measure it in numbers, however the spacing and communication are nonetheless in every single place.
Cason Wallace is Kentucky’s main scorer with 10 factors (4-8 FG, 2-6 3PT), however picked up his second foul on the 5:22 mark and went to the bench. Oscar Tshiebwe has 9 factors and 12 rebounds. Jacob Toppin and CJ Fredrick are scoreless, with Fredrick exiting the sport with a jammed finger on his proper hand. He is not going to return. Adou Thiero, whom Calipari stated will get extra taking part in time, has but to see the ground.
Within the spirit of the day, I’m optimistic Kentucky wants to begin hitting their pictures or the Cats will probably be taking a loss dwelling with them from Columbia.
