Kentucky got back in the win column with a huge road victory over Vanderbilt on Tuesday night.
The Wildcats entered this game coming off of back-to-back losses, but prevailed 109-77 in the end. This was the first time Kentucky has scored 100+ points in a game since it defeated Marshall back on Nov. 24.
Antonio Reeves and Rob Dillingham were Kentucky’s leading scorers in this contest. Reeves poured in 24 points while Dillingham contributed 20 points off the bench. Justin Edwards also had a nice game as he chipped in 17 points.
In total, 6 Kentucky players scored in double-figures — including a quartet of bench players. Zvonimir Ivisic had his best game since his Kentucky debut as he totaled 11 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists.

The victory means Kentucky is now 6-4 in SEC play. The Wildcats have fallen out of the SEC title race for now, but it’s possible they could get back in the mix before the end of the season.
Kentucky will be back in action again on Saturday against Gonzaga for a marquee nonconference matchup. Tipoff for that game is set for 4 p.m. ET.
