No 12 LSU escapes with win over short-handed Kentucky
No. 12 LSU was able to get away with a 78-69 win over Kentucky on Sunday. The Wildcats were on their fourth game in eight days, and had seven players available for the road trip to Baton Rouge. Believe it or not, Kentucky actually had a lead going into halftime up 34-33. The Tigers did a good job of bouncing back and showing some more life in the second half, but every time LSU thought it had the Wildcats on the ropes, Kentucky would fight back to keep it close. Khayla Pointer was the difference maker in the win with 28 points, followed by three other Tigers scoring in double digits. Kentucky leaned on Jada Walker and Rhyne Howard; the two combined for 44 in a respectable showing. Cherry + Pointer = BUCKET— LSU Women's Basketball (@LSUwbkb) :
