Kentucky Basketball Live Stream: UK v. Mizzou

Second Half

28 seconds. 3 fouls. The one that matters is an illegal screen on Richards.

All of Rupp is on their feet and nothing to show for. Wildcats up to 10 turnovers.

Extra passes lead to IQs third three-pointer of the game. Undefeated play.

Nick Richards with his second-straight double-double. And he has drawn 7 fouls on Mizzou. Cal and Kentucky are going to start to expect this type of play.

Hagans draws foul, will go to the line. 35-31. 15:20 to play.

Mizzou’s Tillmon commits an offensive foul moments after being warned by the refs. Cats ball. Tillmon has three.

IQ nails his fourth three on a prayer bouncer up and over the backboard.

Things heating up here. Richards and Tillmon with three fouls in the last forty seconds. Mizzou’s Pickett blown for a technical foul. Martin and Calipari not pleased with their guys.

After missing a three, IQ has a chance at making one at the line. Draws the block for a chance to make it three points. Quickley is perfect at the line today, 40/42 on the season. Sheesh. Mizzou timeout, Cats up 11.

Meanwhile, YAHTZEE! Vito Tisdale commits to UK. Kentucky Football continues to improve each and every year.

Kentucky runs Cal’s favorite – circle action – leading to wide open spacing. Instead, turnovers… and an EJ Montgomery foul. His struggles continue. 48-35.

Mizzou misses both. 2-6 on the day. Cats are 16-19. Woof.

Lead very quietly crawls to its largest on the day. 52-36.

Richards has fallen on his own sword in the second half. Neutered by fouls. Just draws a double technical with Tillmon. Not sure if we will be seeing much more of Nick tonight.

6:50 to go. 56-43. Foul off the inbounds pass sends Mizzou to the line. Cats have quieted down considerably – let’s see if they can achieve the Calipari buzzword: FINISH.

Lead cut to 10. This Kentucky defense is severely lacking without Nick Richards on the floor.

The 7-foot Nick Richards just euro-stepped to make his total 21 and seals it with a block on the other end.

IQ sinks two free throws to extend the lead to 14. He is now a cool 95.5% on the year from the charity stripe.

With that reach-in, a four-foul Nick Richards finally fouls out. What a game from the big man and a standing O from Rupp Arena.

Ashton Hagans with an out-of-character performance. 6 assists and 5 turnovers. Yikes.

Timeout UK. 1:48 to play. Cats up 10. And Ashton Hagans just rolled his ankle.

Cats win and hold the Tigers to 59. Final: 71-59.
