UK wins the battle of Kentucky
.jpg) Lexington,
KY (01-04-2010): No. 3 University of Kentucky won
the Bluegrass State battle over arch-rivals University
of Louisville 71-62 last Saturday in front of a sellout
crowd at Rupp Arena. Kentucky (15-0) matched its best
start in 40 years while breaking a two-game losing
streak to Louisville. Forward Samardo Samuels
finished with nine points and nine rebounds but was
dominated in the match-up with his Kentucky counterpart
Demarcus Cousins who produced 18 points and a
season-high 18 rebounds.
Louisville fell in an early hole after missing 18 of its
first 19 shots but fought gallantly to pull in front
42-41 with 9:51 remaining in the contest. They had no
answer for freshman phenom John Walls, however,
as Walls took over the final minutes to will Kentucky to
victory. Louisville shot just 32 percent from the field
and also lost the battle in the paint 40-24.
