Kentucky was at full strength for the first time all season against Ole Miss, but it didn’t last long.
Ole Miss was in town to take on the Kentucky Wildcats, who were looking to snap a three-game losing streak in Rupp Arena. Kentucky was able to snap the streak, taking down Ole Miss 75-63 behind a balanced offensive attack. The Wildcats had four players score in double-figures, but no one went off. This is what makes Kentucky such a dangerous basketball team.
Tre Mitchell returned from his two-game absence with a back injury against Ole Miss but was only able to play 21 minutes before having to leave with a shoulder injury. After picking up his third foul, Mitchell went to the bench, grabbing his shoulder. He was on the bench for less than a minute before heading back to the locker room and never made his way back out.
Coach John Calipair had this to say about Mitchell’s injury post-game: “Went to get x-rays, I don’t know.”
