Kentucky Hosts Instate Rival Morehead State
The Wildcats will hit the floor following one of the most dynamic offensive performances in the John Calipari era in a 101-49 victory over Lafayette on Friday. UK topped the century mark for the first time since the season opener in 2011-12 while hitting .645 percent of its shots from the floor. That shooting clip is the single-best percentage under Calipari with freshman Alex Poythress' .900 mark becoming the third-best by a single player. Sophomore Kyle Wiltjer hit a career-high seven 3-pointers en route to a 23-point effort. UK also forced the Leopards into a Calipari-era best 28 turnovers. Morehead State has jumped out to a 3-1 record under first-year coach and former UK standout Sean Woods. The Eagles garnered an 88-74 win over Lafayette on Sunday, while forcing the Leopards into 29 turnovers for the victory.
