The best photos from Kentucky’s huge win over Duke Tuesday night

Here are the best pictures from the Kentucky basketball win over Duke.

The Mark Pope era has barely begun, but Kentucky basketball already has a signature victory after upsetting the Duke Blue Devils. The Wildcats defense led a second half comeback and they walked out with a 77 – 72 win.

Forward Andrew Carr was key in getting the win. He led the team in scoring with 17 points and made some big buckets in the second half. Otega Oweh also made a number of big plays down the stretch, including a steal and a massive rebound at the end of the game. He also scored 15 points.

Duke led the game by nine at halftime behind Freshman Cooper Flagg. The Blue Devils star was terrific all game long, but they also forced him into mistakes at the end of the game.

Amari Williams created a turnover on the baseline with a terrific defensive play, and Otega Oweh snatched the ball from him in the final minute as well.

The win was a statement from Pope and the Wildcats. They may not have the flashy players that they’ve had in past seasons. However, they’re experienced, and they will not give up.

Tuesday’s win was an exciting one, with lots of great moments. Here are some of the best pictures of the action:

Staff prediction for Kentucky versus Duke on Tuesday night

Here is the staff prediction for Kentucky basketball versus Duke on Tuesday.

Kentucky versus Duke isn’t a traditional rivalry, since they don’t play that often. They’ve met just 23 times over the years, with Kentucky leading the series 12 – 11. However, if you ask the fans, it’s a heated rivalry, and they’ll meet again on Tuesday night.

The Wildcats had to rebuild their entire roster this year after the coaching change from John Calipari to Mark Pope. However, it’s a talented Kentucky roster, with lots of veteran leadership and a number of quality shooters.

The Blue Devils come into the game as the sixth ranked team in the country, led by number one recruit Cooper Flagg. They’re talented, as always, and will certainly test the new Kentucky roster.

Here is how the staff at UKWildcatsWire predict the game:

Kentucky 84 – Duke 93

Both teams can put points up in a hurry, so whichever team gets hot early will have an advantage. The Wildcats have more experience, and should try to be physical with the younger Blue Devils. Kentucky also has to limit second chance points, but Duke rebounds well.

The Cats will need their three-point shooters to be effective, and they cannot turn the ball over with careless passes. They should keep it close, but Duke is the better team..for now.
