The Wildcats (21-10, 10-8 SEC) also saw significant contributions from Koby Brea, who finished with 17 points, and Andrew Carr, who notched his third double-double of the season with 16 points and 12 rebounds. Amari Williams added 14 points and eight boards, helping UK control the paint. Kentucky’s offensive efficiency was on full display, shooting 55% (11-of-20) from three-point range and converting 78.8% (26-of-33) from the free-throw line. These clutch performances from beyond the arc and at the charity stripe helped the Wildcats maintain their lead down the stretch.

A trio of three-pointers from Trent Noah, Brea, and Travis Perry sparked an 11-0 Kentucky run, giving the Wildcats a 15-11 lead. Carr and Williams continued to attack inside, keeping UK in control, and by halftime, the Wildcats held a solid 38-29 advantage. Kentucky opened the second half with a quick burst, extending the lead to 46-32. However, Missouri refused to go away quietly, rallying with a 10-0 run to cut the deficit to 66-61. Oweh responded with a clutch three-pointer and a layup, pushing the lead back to nine with just over five minutes remaining. In the final minute, Kentucky iced the game at the free-throw line, securing the eight-point victory. Key Role Players Shine for the Wildcats While Oweh was the star, the performances of Koby Brea and Andrew Carr were equally crucial. Both players have fluctuated between starting and coming off the bench this season, but their impact on the team’s success is undeniable.
