No. 2 West Virginia defeated the Kentucky Wildcats 81-69 tonight, improving their record to 8-0 while Kentucky fell to 3-4.

Stefon Hull led the Mountaineers with 18 points on 7-16 shooting, including 3-6 from beyond the arc. He also grabbed six rebounds. Joshua Wilkerson added 13 points, while Oscar Carroto contributed 12 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, and 4 steals. Off the bench, Brandin Plummer put up 10 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, providing a much-needed spark for the Mountaineers.

Kentucky's Jeremee Morris was the top scorer for the Wildcats with 17 points and 10 rebounds. Jimmy Bird added 13 points, while Ije Stevenson chipped in 10 points. Corry Rudakas dished out 7 assists in the loss.

West Virginia shot 30-70 (43%) from the field, 10-28 (36%) from three-point range, and a disappointing 11-22 (50%) from the free-throw line. Kentucky shot 28-61 (46%) from the field, but just 3-17 (18%) from beyond the arc. They did shoot a more respectable 10-13 (77%) from the charity stripe, however.

"We've got to do better at the free throw line," remarked West Virginia head coach James Frizzell after his team's win. "50% from the line just isn't going to do it, especially in bigger games."

West Virginia returns to Morgantown for their next game on Sunday against Gardner-Webb.

I know! It’s kind of sad. I think I’ve dominated the conference too much and driven the rest of the teams into the ground. 😂
