Kentucky took a big first half lead and never looked back on the way to a 66-58 win at Missouri.
The Wildcats (22-4, 11-2 SEC) had a comfortable lead when senior Reid Travis left the game with a knee injury. From that point forward, John Calipari said he just wanted to get out of the gym with a win.
Kentucky slowed the game down and hammered out the victory.
