It was a carefree night at Rupp Arena as Kentucky cruised to a 118-82 victory over Marshall. The game was never in doubt, with Kentucky scoring 69 points by halftime, a record for the most points scored in a single half in Rupp Arena. By the end, Kentucky’s 118 points were also a record for the most scored in a single game in the John Calipari era. Sure, Kentucky allowed 82 points, but let’s focus on the fun and break down what a historic performance this was with some help from our friend, UK statistician Corey Price.

118 – Most points scored by Kentucky in the John Calipari Era

The most in a single game since Kentucky’s win over Kentucky State on Dec. 15, 2001
The Rupp Arena record for Kentucky is 127 points, which came in a win over LSU in March 1995
The most ever by a Kentucky team period is 143, in a victory over Georgia in Louisville in 156
Kentucky is now 207-6 (97.2%) all-time when scoring at least 100 points in a single game.

69 – Most points scored in a single half in Rupp Arena

Fourth most in a single half in school history behind:
- 86 points (Jan. 16, 1996 at LSU)
- 75 points (Feb. 27, 1956 vs. Georgia in Louisville)
- 70 points (Dec. 19, 1995 vs. Marshall in Louisville)
- 69 points (Nov. 24 vs. Marshall)

120 – Kentucky assists through six games, 49 turnovers

Per Kyle Tucker, no other Division I team since 2010 has had 120+ assists and fewer than 49 turnovers through six games.
Kentucky had 27 assists to only 9 turnovers tonight.

12 – Three-pointers Kentucky has scored in four consecutive games
