No. 1 Wildcats smash South Carolina, 86-52

Anthony Davis - photo by Walter Cornett | WildcatWorld.com had 22 points, eight rebounds and eight blocks as No. 1 wiped away the memories of the last time the top-ranked Wildcats came to with an 86-52 victory Saturday night.  Kentucky (23-1) has won 15 straight and moved to 9-0 in the Southeastern Conference for the first time in seven years. And they’ll stay atop the rankings, unlike in 2010 when the No. 1 Wildcats were stunned 68-62 by the Gamecocks.  This time, Davis and  made sure there wouldn’t be a similar flop. The two combined for 34 points in the first half as Kentucky took a 52-25 lead at the break and eventually increased the margin to 41 points.  Damien Leonard scored a career-high 19 points for South Carolina (9-13, 1-7).
