CATS block their way to a 87-74 win over Rebels!
Kile Wiltjer comes off the bench to lead UK with 26 points but it was the defense of Nerlens Noel that set the tone and led the CATS over the Rebels (not feeling the black bears).
Noel finished the game with only two points but it’s the twelve blocks that led to a number of transition baskets for UK. Not too mention getting in the heads of the Ole Miss offense. At one point Noel left the game with four fouls and Ole Miss immediately took over the momentum of the game on their way to a 16-0 run.
Goodwin, Poythress, and Harrow played lights out down the stretch as UK held on for the win 87 – 74.
