Tennessee Tech (1-1) 62
#8 Kentucky (3-0) 80

The Wildcats remained undefeated after an 80-62 victory over Tennessee Tech at Rupp Arena. Patrick Sparks absolutely went off, dishing out 19 assists and also adding 8 points and 5 steals. Kelenna Azubuike scored a season high 34 points on the night, almost half of them on the fast break. Kentucky was too athletic for Tech, scoring 16 fast break points on the night. Kentucky will now travel to Chapel Hill for perhaps the toughest game they will play all year against the 6th ranked Tarheels, although North Carolina has gotten off to a rocky 2-3 start.

Although the Wildcats were once down as much as 16 in the first half, they managed to cut the defecit to only 3 at halftime. However the game was never really as close as the score illustrates for a prolonged period of time, and Kentucky just couldn't get it together in time, and ended up suffering their first loss of the season to the Tarheels. Sparks was the lone Wildcat in double figures with 25.
