Kentucky WBB dominates N. Kentucky with strong defense

The Kentucky Wildcats women's basketball team rolled over Morehead State in their first game of the season. On Thursday, they played another in-state school, Northern Kentucky, and it ended with a similar result. The Wildcats dominated the game, and won 79-28. Kentucky's defense was terrific throughout the game. They forced 28 turnovers from the Norse, and out-rebounded them 59-35, including 28-8 in offensive boards. Northern Kentucky shot just 14% from the floor, held in check by the size and talent advantage that the Cats had. Offensively, however, Kentucky struggled. They made just 34% of their shots overall, and just 26% from three-point range. They missed a number of shots from in close as well, and will need to improve on that side of the ball entering tougher parts of the schedule. Asia Boone did not struggle from the floor. She led the Wildcats with 21 points and made 7-of-11 shots overall, and 5 from behind the arc. Clara Strack had a double-double with 11 points and 10 boards. Me'Arah O'Neal and Ajsa Sivka each added 12 points. Kentucky steps up the competition with their next game. They'll face North Carolina State on Sunday afternoon. That game will be live on
