Antonio Reeves also contributed 15 points for Kentucky, although he struggled with his shooting, making just 6 of 18 attempts from the floor.

The Game started out with a tight score, as both teams were tied at 2-2 before South Carolina went on an 8-2 run to take a 10-4 lead. Kentucky fought back and managed to bring the score within one at 12-11 with a three-pointer from Scherr and a layup by Eniya Russell. However, South Carolina closed out the first quarter with a five-point run, leading 17-13.

Kentucky enters the game with an 8-9 overall record, including a 1-2 record in the Southeastern Conference. They started off conference play with a victory against Arkansas, followed by losses to Tennessee and Vanderbilt. However, despite their recent defeat to Vanderbilt, senior forward Ajae Petty had a standout performance, scoring 23 points and grabbing a career-high 21 rebounds. This marked the first 20-20 game for the program since Valerie Still accomplished the feat in 1982.

Kentucky had a strong start to the second half, with a nine-play, 92-yard scoring drive that ended in Ray Davis’ 31-yard rush. This impressive drive gave Kentucky a 14-10 lead in the third quarter. The Wildcats’ defense also stepped up, forcing punts on eight of South Carolina’s final nine possessions.

Despite the loss, there were standout performances from individual players on the Wildcats’ roster. Quarterback Devin Leary completed 17 of his 34 pass attempts, accumulating 171 passing yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Wide receivers Dane Key and Barion Brown made significant contributions to the offense, with Key catching four passes for 51 yards and Brown adding four receptions for 30 yards and a touchdown.

Both teams are coming into this game with a determination to secure a victory. The Wildcats, coached by Mark Stoops, currently hold a record of 7-3 (4-3 SEC). After suffering a tough loss to the Georgia Bulldogs last week, the Wildcats are eager to bounce back and finish the season strong.
