Belmont kept it close against Kentucky last year in Historic Memorial Coliseum as the Cats squeezed out a six-point win. The Bruins seem to be a thorn in the side of every quality opponent they face. With how close last year’s game was, Kentucky was going to have to play well in order to escape Sunday’s contest with a win to avoid a deflating upset.
Kentucky would end up getting the win, beating Belmont 77-69 to move to 11-1 on the year. The Cats start 11-1 in back-to-back seasons for the first time since the 2018-19 and 2019-20 seasons.
It was close through the first quarter. Shots weren’t really falling, and that was especially the case for Clara Strack. She shot just 2-8 in the first quarter with a lot of those being uncontested, low-percentage looks. Belmont wasn’t necessarily firing on all cylinders wither, but with Strack and Kentucky struggling offensively, it was a 16-14 game after. 10 minutes of play.
