No. 8 Kentucky overcame a 3-point halftime deficit and outscored Kansas by double digits in the second half of Saturday's marquee SEC/Big 12 Challenge game for a 71-63 win over the ninth-ranked Jayhawks.
Kansas (16-4) started fast and Kentucky (16-3) started slow, which led to KU building a double digit lead early on in the first half. But as the Wildcats struggled to create offense, veteran Reid Travis came alive and willed his team to wake up, grabbing layups, smashing dunks and giving UK life it lacked but desperately needed.
In the second half it was back-and-forth, with Kansas riding Dedric Lawson. But the Jayhawks didn't get much help elsewhere, as senior Lagerald Vick, who finished with 10, was mostly quiet down the stretch. Meanwhile, UK got a steady and balanced diet of PJ Washington, Reid Travis, Keldon Johnson and Ashton Hagans, who all finished in double figures for the Wildcats' sixth consecutive victory.
