Halftime Thoughts: A strong finish gives Kentucky a 36-27 lead over LSU at the break

It was a back and fourth half in the early going, but Kentucky was able to run away a bit in the final few minutes. 

The Wildcats ended the half on a 10-0 to lead LSU 36-27 at the half. 

Antonio Reeves had a really good first half, scoring 16 points on 7-10 shooting. He is on his way to another high-scoring game to help the cause for #12 to be an All-American. 

Justin Edwards was 2-3 from three in the first half and had six points. Adou Thiero had six points and five rebounds in the first half, continuing to play excellent basketball for the Wildcats. 

Kentucky has once again played some good defense and has a chance to hold another team to less than 60 points. One more solid defensive performance will prove this Kentucky team is ready to make a run. 

The Wildcats are 20 minutes away from securing back-to-back SEC road wins, putting themselves in a really good spot with the SEC Tournament approaching.
