The second exhibition game of the year for Kentucky basketball saw them face a tougher opponent in a ranked Texas Tech team. After a shaky first game, the Wildcats were much stronger, and took it 76-65.

Milan Momcilovic was good once again, and scored 15 points. However, it was Kentucky's young guards who stole the show. Sophomore Alex Wilkins scored 13 points, and added 7 assists and 3 steals, hitting some huge second half threes. Meanwhile, freshman Mason Williams added 14 points of his own, including some tough shots in traffic.

Turnovers were a problem again, but the Wildcats had just 11 in this one, compared to 19 last time out. They also will need to rebound better. They were out-rebounded by the Red Raiders, who more than once just out-battled Kentucky's big men.

Overall, though, it was a strong game for Pope's squad, and a step forward overall. Afterwards, Big Blue Nation took to social media to talk about it. Here are some of the best posts from X.
