In what has been a surprisingly bad season for the Kentucky Wildcats, ending the season in a three-game losing streak and ending with 10 losses in the SEC would have been quite appropriate. This year has been difficult for the Wildcats this year. But even with March looking anything but promising, the Wildcats did not send it.
Kentucky closed the regular season with 92-64 victory over South Carolina at home on Saturday, finishing 9-15 overall and 8-9 in the SEC game. It was a close battle in the first half with the Wildcats leading by just eight points at halftime, but they got hot in the second half, pulling for the 28 point win.
In the first half of the game, Kentucky managed to separate from South Carolina thanks to the 3-point kick. Although the percentage of Wildcats (35.7%) was not large, they were still able to take down five shots beyond the bow. On the other side of things, the Gamecocks fired just five shots from outside, but failed to make any of them fall.
