Kentucky stops skid, handles business at South Carolina By Ryan Hoots Sports Director, UntdWeStnd.com Columbia, SC - Nobody is going to rewatch this one for fun. Kentucky's 72-63 win at South Carolina felt like eating plain toast after a bout with Covid. It gets the job done. Nobody's bragging about it later. You know what? Good.

Columbia gave them 40 minutes of mud and Kentucky finally decided to stop trying to eat it. The offense wasn't smooth. There were possessions that looked like five guys meeting for the first time in Basketball 101. Shots came off awkward. Timing felt late. At times it was hard to tell if the lid was on the rim or if both teams just collectively forgot the idea of the game is to actually throw the ball "in" the hoop.
