Kentucky's long-range shooting scorches LSU 82-44

With Louisiana State the representative from the Mild, Mild West, Kentucky rolled to an 82-44 Southeastern Conference victory on Saturday.

Kentucky — and the 24,330 in Rupp Arena — enjoyed the program's widest margin of victory against a league opponent since beating South Carolina by 38 in 2007.

"I don't know what you want me to say," LSU Coach Trent Johnson told reporters afterward. "It was an old-fashioned (butt) whipping. There's nothing to say. They beat us top to bottom, every way but loose."

The Cats (14-3, 2-1 SEC) shot holes in LSU's zone with three-point marksmanship. Relieved early of any concern about winning, Kentucky made the rest seem like a glorified workout.

Brandon Knight led Kentucky with 19 points. Terrence Jones added 17, and juniors DeAndre Liggins and Darius Miller had 15 each.
