Bria Goss on Kentucky’s offensive effort, “It says that we have worked on our offense this summer. We did a lot of offensive execution during the offseason and preseason and we are still doing a lot of offensive fundamentals, getting in the gym outside of practice. It’s kind of showing up now.”

Samarie Walker added 10 points and 14 rebounds for her second straight double-double. Jennifer O’Neill chipped in 11 points.

Chandler Cooper led Lipscomb with 15 points.
UK Hoops heads to Middle Tennessee on Sunday, Nov. 24, to take on the Blue Raiders at 5 p.m. ET. Samarie Walker says Middle Tennessee will be a challenging environment to play in. “They have very tough players. They have a few returners. Ebony Rowe is still playing for them she is a really great player. We will just have to play hard and stay with it, even though the crowd is tough.”
