Kentucky handily beat Mississippi State in their SEC opener, but things were never going to come that easily in every game. Playing Vanderbilt on the road is no small task, and the Cats would have to play at an elite level to knock off the 14-1 Commodores.
Fortunately for Kentucky, they were able to get the win, beating Vanderbilt 96-78 to move to 13-1 (2-0 SEC) on the year.
The momentum that Kentucky had against Mississippi State carried over against Vanderbilt. Kentucky started the game shooting 9-13 (69%) from the field and 6-9 (67%) from three-point range. Georgia Amoore and Amelia Hassett were especially hot, scoring 19 combined points in the first period of play. It was a 31-17 lead for Kentucky through one.
Still, the game was far from over, obviously, The second quarter was the same for the most part, but toward the end of the half, Vanderbilt made a bit of a run to keep it competitive. Hassett would draw her third foul of the game too, which wasn’t ideal for the rest of the game. Dazia Lawrence would have 11 points on 3-4 shooting from deep to help give Kentucky a 51-38 lead at the half.
