KSR's Rapid Reaction stayed late to celebrate Kentucky beating Ole Miss

DrewFranklinKSR

There were smiles on KSR’s new Rapid Reaction because Kentucky snapped out of its home funk in Rupp Arena, beating Ole Miss to find some confidence before the upcoming two-game road trip. Ugonna Onyenso shined with 10 blocks, giving Zack Geoghegan a reason to brag on the seven-footer’s record-setting performance against the Rebels. Drew Franklin and Jack Pilgrim had lots to say about the win, too.

To hear their comments, hit play to join the happiness on a late night in Lexington. KSR celebrated the win and Valentine’s Day with a new video.
