Kentucky dominates Vandy on the road with a 109-77 win.

Kentucky loses to Tennessee in Rupp Arena 103-92.

This game marked Sheppard’s highest scoring output in an SEC matchup this season and the fourth time he has achieved the feat of scoring 20 points or more in a single game. Unfortunately for Kentucky, they were without the services of freshman guards Justin Edwards and D.J. Wagner, both of whom missed the game due to injury.

Antonio Reeves also contributed 15 points for Kentucky, although he struggled with his shooting, making just 6 of 18 attempts from the floor. Tre Mitchell provided additional support with 13 points and five rebounds. However, Kentucky’s final score of 62 points was the lowest they have recorded all season.

Kentucky got back to winning with a 90-77 home win over the Mississippi State Bulldogs which improves the Cats to 3-1 in the conference.

Moreover, Dillingham and Sheppard have developed a strong chemistry on and off the court. As roommates in the lodge, the two have grown close quickly. According to Sheppard, their on-court chemistry is a result of their constant collaboration and practice together, stating, “In practice, we’re always shooting together.”

Kentucky moved to 2-0 in the SEC with a 90-77 home win over a cagey Missouri Tiger team.  Kentucky was never really in danger of losing but as predicted in the preview the game was closer than it should have been. 

Kentucky’s overall performance was impressive, with Tre Mitchell contributing a double-double of 20 points and 14 rebounds. D.J. Wagner added 16 points, Antonio Reeves scored 14, and Aaron Bradshaw had 10 points for the team.

This Friday, Dillingham and the Wildcats will face off against Stonehill at Rupp Arena. Stonehill, with a 1-3 record, is coming off a tough 100-56 loss against Saint Joseph’s on Tuesday.

Antonio Reeves, a Chicago native, had an impressive performance for Kentucky, contributing 24 points to the team’s effort. Freshman Rob Dillingham also stood out with 18 points, while sophomore Adou Thiero recorded career highs in both points (16) and rebounds (13). Freshman Reed Sheppard added 13 points and four steals to the Cats’ stat line.
