Felt like parts of this game really flew by so it must have been free flowing without as many whistles. Who expected Colgate to be up 45-42? From that point, though, they did not shoot well enough to threaten the upset.
It was wild to see the runs with Kentucky cruising early and then maybe getting lazy thinking they had it in hand. But then Colgate's run and then Kentucky's final push.
Kentucky went on a big run in the second half to take the lead in a game that was much closer than anyone expected. Koby Brea was the highlight of the night. He made all four of his first half threes and was a very efficient player. Amari Williams was the other Kentucky player who stood out on a night when not many Kentucky players consistently grabbed your attention.
UK won the glass as expected but another less than great 3-point shooting night. They cant play as poorly as they did for a while against a good team.
But in the end its not a big deal, it was a comfortable win. Every team wins games like this.
