The knockout punch came right after the opening tip.

Anthony Davis gets two dunks in less than two minutes.

Toss in a three by Kyle Wiltjer who came in when Terrence Jones hurt a finger on his left hand and had to leave. Cats jump out 16-2 over Chattanooga.

Lamb's outside shot makes it 24-9 with about 11 minutes to go in the half. At this point UK is hitting 58% of their shots. Chattanooga only 27%.

Terrence Jones comes back in it's obvious that his left hand which is taped is bothering him.

Chattanooga wakes up and goes on a 17-15 run to make it 33-19.

UK leads 39-23 at the half. For now, there is no joy at Rupp.

Terrence Jones coming off an awful game against Indiana needs to be given a pass with his bad hand. He has no points. Has missed all three shots. Has one foul, one rebound, one assist and two turnovers.
