It has been a wild week for the Kentucky Wildcats. After a two game winning streak against Mississippi State and Georgia, the Wildcats had an upset loss against the South Carolina Gamecocks. Going into the end of a month, the Wildcats needed another win and they got one. Against the now 10-10 Arkansas Razorbacks.

The final score of the matchup was 63-57 in a game that featured three Wildcats who scored double digit points. Senior forward Tre Mitchell had a double-double, with 10 points and 11 rebounds. Local Kentucky native and freshman guard Reed Sheppard had 14 points, five assists, and four rebounds. He also had a dagger three-pointer that silenced the often loud and rowdy Razorback student section.

The final big contributor for the Wildcats was senior guard and former Illinois State Redbirds star Antonio Reeves who had 24 points and four rebounds on the sensational night.

The Wildcats record as of now is 15-4 which puts them in the fifth seed for the SEC and sixth in the Associated Press and USA Today Sports Coaches Polls.

The Wildcats have one more game left in the month of January. Next Wednesday the Wildcats have one more home game against the Florida Gators at 7 p.m. before playing at home again against the fifth ranked Tennessee Volunteers on February third. Go Wildcats!
