The final scoreboard read 75-64 in favor of Kentucky, marking a significant victory for the home team.

Wildcats' Key Performances

The game was highlighted by remarkable performances from several Wildcats players. Otega Oweh led his team with an impressive 13 points, complemented by six rebounds and two blocks, showcasing his all-around capabilities on both ends of the floor. His shooting accuracy from beyond the arc was flawless at 100 percent.

Not far behind in contribution was Ansley Almonor who matched Oweh's scoring with another 13 points. Almonor's shooting precision stood out as he hit 80 percent of his shots from the field and maintained perfect accuracy from both three-point range (67 percent) and free throws (100 percent).
