The basket by the Wildcats wiped out one of LSU best efforts in SEC play in the fourth straight game without point guard DJ Thomas, Jr. The Tigers led by as much as 18 points in the first 35 seconds of the second half, but Kentucky shot 65 percent overall and 72.7 percent in the second half from distance to rally for the win.

Kentucky Football has added another proven pass-catching option to its roster, landing transfer wide receiver Nic Anderson from LSU, a player who first made his name at Oklahoma before a brief and injury-marred stop in Baton Rouge.
