On Tuesday night, the Kentucky Wildcats took on Arkansas at home, in the jam-packed Rupp Arena. UK’s record is a 18-1 overall, and 4-0 in the Southeastern conference. Adding another win, Kentucky dominated Arkansas with their lead scorer Anthony Davis, with a career high of 27 points. Davis also had a total of 7 blocks, breaking UK’s record for blocks in a season. Kentucky scored the first 8 points right out of the gate, and by halftime, they were up a whopping 16 points (37-21.) Kentucky demonstrated excellent defense.  The players ran on high energy and played with consistent determination to win throughout the entire game.

During the second half, Kentucky maintained control of the ball, like they did for the majority of the game.  This made it impossible for Arkansas to have any chance of recovering. Toward the end of the game, back-to-back dunks were made by Davis and Kidd-Gilchrist Gilchrist kept the scoreboard climbing, leaving Arkansas in the dust.

By the end of the game, Kentucky was in the lead by a long shot, and Arkansas players were visibly losing energy, throwing away the game. The crowd was wild, passionate about their team and excited about another well-deserved win. Freshman Anthony Davis dominated the court, and contributed greatly to Kentucky winning.
