Kentucky had a chance to end non-conference play with just one loss coming into Saturday’s game against WKU. The Lady Toppers have had Kentucky’s number in years past back when this was a regular scheduled series, but if there’s anything we’ve learned with this year’s team, it’s that history and old trends can change.
That happened again when the Cats took down WKU, beating the Lady Toppers 88-70 to move to 11-1 on the year heading into SEC play.
The game got started off in a rather fast-paced manner, but both teams struggled to put the ball in the hoop. Kentucky held WKU to just 5-14 (0-3 3PT) shooting in the first quarter, but Kentucky’s 8-19 (1-7 3PT) start wasn’t too much better. Georgia Amoore helped give the Cats a 17-13 lead to end the first period of play with five early points. She finished the game with 21 points and nine assists on the night.
Quarter number two started off in similar fashion, but Saniah Tyler would flip the script as the first half came to a close. After she checked in, she recorded five quick points to help Kentucky get a 38-27 lead going into the break. The junior guard would end the game with 11 points on 4-5 (3-4 3PT) shooting with 16 minutes played.
