The UK Hoops team dominated the first half with their full court press and that is all they needed as they beat Alabama A&M 84-58. A’dia Mathies led the women in the 1st half with 10 points on 4-5 shooting in only 11 minutes. Maegan Conwright was also a main part of the half as she had 7 points as the ladies took a 42-20 lead into the locker room.
The second half was pretty much a mirror image of the 1st half as they pressed the Bulldogs into 31 total turnovers for the game. I thought Kentucky sort of coasted through the second half and if it wasn’t for Keyla Snowden’s hot 3 point shooting this game could have gotten a lot closer. Snowden was 5-8 from the 3 and finished with 15 points. Victoria Dunlap led all scorers with 22 points on 7-19 shooting.
Both times that I have watched this team the press has smothered their opponents and it shows the strength of this team is causing turnovers. If they can continue causing teams to turn it over then SEC play should be alot of fun. The UK Hoops team will be back in action on Tuesday at 3pm vs. Arkansas Pine Bluff.
