WATCH: KSR Rapidly Reacts to Kentucky's 86-63 win over Louisville
Celebrating a win sure is more fun than breaking down a loss.
On Saturday afternoon at Rupp Arena, the No. 19 Kentucky Wildcats (9-4) made easy work of the Louisville Cardinals (2-12) in a rivalry showdown, winning by a final score of 86-63. Senior forward Jacob Toppin was the star of the show for the ‘Cats, playing his best game in a UK uniform to date with 24 points and seven rebounds in 35 minutes. Kentucky shot 60 percent from the field as a team and ran an inferior Louisville team right out of Lexington.
Reigning national player of the year Oscar Tshiebwe finished with another “quiet” performance of 24 points and 14 rebounds while star freshman Cason Wallace chipped in 17 points and five rebounds. Senior point guard Sahvir Wheeler added seven points and nine assists, as well. Head coach John Calipari stuck with a six-man rotation for most of the afternoon as UK led from beginning to end.
After the arena cleared out, KSR’s Jack Pilgrim and Zack Geoghegan sat down to give their Rapid Reactions of Kentucky’s 23-point blowout victory. You can watch everything they had to say below.
