Three months ago, Kentucky escaped a regular-season matchup with Louisville in spite of making less than 30 percent of its field-goal attempts. Along with 32 made free throws, the biggest reason the Wildcats managed a win in spite of their worst shooting effort of the season was a dominant performance on the glass. Against the smaller Cardinals, UK owned an astounding 57-31 rebounding edge, outscoring U of L 20-6 on second-chance points.
