Sixty points in the second half against a Big Ten team is just unreal. Wright completely took over the game after the break, and it felt like nobody on Ohio State could stay in front of him. KY has this squad playing with so much confidence right now. Anyone catch how our perimeter defense looked during that second half run?

That second-half pace was something else entirely. Wright just kept putting them in drop coverage and attacking the paint, and once those kickout corner threes started falling, Ohio State had zero answers. KY running that five-out spacing gives our guards so much room to operate. Unreal shooting splits after the break.
