February 21o 1918: Kentucky and Centre College were involved in an intrastate battle that seemed to never end. Both players will have to be at their finest and the Tide defense, which yields 67.5 points per game, needs to slow down the No. 14 Wildcats. On a positive note for the “bad” portion, the Cats attacked the rim in this game and scored 40 points in the paint. Donta Hall did make a nice dunk off a rebound after Riley Norris missed a breakaway layup and Brandon Austin made a nice three pointer, but that was about the extent of it as Kentucky raced to a 25 point lead to end the game. Tip-off is set for 4 p.m. CT and the game will be televised on the SEC Network.
