No. 18 Mizzou never trailed in a 75-70 win over visiting Kentucky on Wednesday night. It is just the Tigers’ second win ever against the Wildcats.
The veteran Tigers shot 43% on three-pointers to edge a typically-young Kentucky (5-11, 4-5) team.
Redshirt senior Dru Smith paced Mizzou with 26 points, seven rebounds, and five assists.
Mizzou is (12-3, 5-3) on the year and second in the SEC, three games behind Alabama. The Tigers host the Tide on Saturday.
