Any lip readers out there know what Orlando Antigua says to Coach Cal here? Looks like “Just tell me the halftime score!” if you ask me.

I got you, Coach O. No worries.

Kentucky leads Missouri 47-42 after a back-and-forth first half that saw the Cats lead by as many as 14 points and the Tigers use a 10-0 run to keep it manageable at the break. And by manageable, I mean way too close against an 8-6 team starting guys who don’t look like real basketball players.

But hey, quick turnaround following a big road win, ahead of another tough test away from home in College Station this weekend.

The Cats are shooting 46.9% from the field, 33.3% from three and 92.3% at the line while the Tigers are hitting 54.8% of their attempts and 46.2% from beyond the arc. Individually, DJ Wagner and Rob Dillingham lead the way with 11 points apiece, followed by Tre Mitchell with 10 and Antonio Reeves with eight. Aaron Bradshaw has added four points and three rebounds while Reed Sheppard has three points, two assists and two steals at the break.

Missouri leading scorer Sean East II is continuing his bucket-getting ways, putting up 15 points on 6-8 shooting at the break. Noah Carter rounds out double-digit scorers with 13 on 3-4 from three.

20 minutes to finish it out. Win and move forward to A&M.
