Kentucky Gets Revenge With 82-61 Win Over South Carolina

Kentucky, after tasting their first and only loss of this season against South Carolina earlier on this season, gets revenge against them in Rupp Arena winning 82-61. Kentucky jumped out early, going up by a touchdown without a USC basket. USC comes back and gives UK a fright, but the Cats answer and go up, ending the first half with a 37-26 lead. Ending the 2nd, UK shoves 10 unanswered points down USC's throat, giving UK a 20 point lead. After a couple baskets, the final seconds tick off and UK leaves the court, smacking South Carolina in the face 82-61. 2nd ranked UK moves on to 27-1, and 12-1 in the SEC and USC goes on to a record of 14-13, and 5-8 SEC.

1st half UK 37 USC 26
