The Kentucky Wildcats are now 22-4 this season after beating the Missouri Tigers on Tuesday.

However, the Tigers fought back and managed to outscore Kentucky by 10 in the second half. Part of that was due to the loss of Reid Travis to a knee injury midway through the half, but the Cats would prevail with a 66-58 win.
