CHICAGO, IL – Kentucky raced to a 24-0 lead and never looked back in an 83-44 victory over UCLA on Saturday in the CBS Sports Classic that proved definitively why the Wildcats are the unanimous #1 team in the nation.
Kentucky held UCLA to just 7 points in the first half, a record low for the Bruins.
Devin Booker led all scorers with 19 points. Aaron Harrison added 15 for the Wildcats, who improved to 12-0 on the season.
Gary Cohen and Alaa Abdelnaby called the action on Westwood One Sports.
