Kentucky's Cats Eyes, Nine Lives....Living to play another day

Kentucky Lives to play another day

It wasn’t perfect, but the Kentucky Wildcats snapped a 4 game losing streak by taking down the Ole Miss Rebels and avenge a loss from earlier in the season. As the rest of the college basketball world watches as Kentucky plays with danger of missing the NCAA tournament for the first time in 17 years, the Wildcats proved to be on a mission in Tampa. A 71-58 win and the beat goes on.


The Cats were led by the two power players that have led the team all season long. Jodie Meeks scored 25, Patrick Patterson added 15 for Big Blue to cruise to a victory.


The Wildcats were also helped by Mr. Sporadic, Perry Stevenson. Stevenson’s appearance and disappearance this season has added to the Cats inability to win down the stretch but against Ole Miss he showed up in a large way scoring 13 points and grabbing 8 boards.


With the victory the Wildcats now move onto game two, a rematch with the LSU Tigers. The Tigers beat the Wildcats with a heartbreaking 3 point shot by Marcus Thornton to clinch the SEC season title.
