A week after getting an upset win over the Duke Blue Devils, Kentucky basketball faced a team they were expected to beat in Lipscomb. They would dominate most of the night and win it by a score of 97 – 68.
Against Duke, guard Jaxson Robinson struggled offensively, scoring just a single point. He didn’t have that problem on Tuesday night. He made 6-of-10 shots, including 3-of-6 from three-point range and led the Wildcats with 20 points.

Point guard Lamont Butler also had a big night for Kentucky. He was 3-of-3 from beyond the arc and scored 16 points. Otega Oweh and Koby Brea also had double figures with 14 and 12 respectively.
Defensively, Kentucky held Lipscomb to just 38% shooting and they made just 5-of-29 three-point attempts. The Wildcats, however, made 48% of their shots from deep.
Next up for Kentucky is Jackson State. That game will be played at Rupp Arena on November 22nd at 7:00 PM ET.
