EMU set out to prove it was a formidable foe from the opening tip, jumping out to a 4-0 lead and prompting a Kentucky timeout less than a minute into the contest. "I thought tonight we got off to a pretty good start offensively," said EMU head coach Rob Murphy, "and as the first half continued to develop a few of our got in foul trouble early so it was tough on us." The Wildcats responded and led by a slim margin for most of the first half. Jalen Ross floater late in the opening period pulled EMU to within 1, but Cauley-Steins alley-oop from James Young as time expired brought the crowd to its feet and gave Kentucky momentum heading into the locker room. Kentucky struggled in the first half in large part due to 11 turnovers to just four assists. A pair of Cauley-Stein alley-oops set the tone in the first five minutes of the second half. Aaron Harrisons triple extended the Wildcats lead to 47-38 at the 13:34 mark of the second. Cauley-Stein then split a pair of free throws a minute later and found Randle underneath for a three-point play after Alex Poythress kept the possession alive with an offensive rebound on the missed second shot. Combs responded with five straight points to cut the Eagles deficit to single digits, but Cauley-Steins seventh block, which matched a career-high, led to a Randle three-point play in transition and a commanding 64-48 Kentucky lead with just under eight minutes to go.
