Kentucky used hot shooting and an outstanding second half to blow Vanderbilt out 82-61 Wednesday night in Rupp Arena.

The Wildcats (18-8, 7-6 SEC) were 29-for-50 (58.0%) from the field, including 17-for-26 (65.4%) in the second half. The team was a perfect 13-for-13 (100%) from the free throw line.

Otega Oweh led Kentucky with 20 points and 7 rebounds. Amari Williams finished with 17 points, 6 boards and 4 blocked shots. Koby Brea added 12 points and Andrew Carr chipped in 11.



Kentucky turned up the defensive pressure in the second half to hold the Commodores (17-9) to 29.6% shooting and just 21 points.

Next up for the Cats is a road trip to Alabama over the weekend.
