Career Night by Keion Brooks Leads Kentucky Past Kansas, 80-62

Keion Brooks scored a career high 27 points leading No. 12 Kentucky over No. 5 Kansas in Allen Fieldhouse, 80-62

Keion Brooks Jr. scored 27 points and Oscar Tshiebwe had a double-double as No. 12 manhandled No. 5 80-62 on Saturday night.

The Wildcats grabbed a big halftime lead in Allen Fieldhouse and cruised to improve to 24-10 all-time in the series. Kansas had won four of the past five coming in. The last Kentucky win in Allen Fieldhouse was in 1983.

Kentucky coach John Calipari wasn’t interested in discussing history.

”I don’t even know who we played two weeks ago,” he said after the game. ”We’ve won a lot of games against ranked teams, all kinds of different ways. I’ve done this a long time and I’ve been in many of these games on the road where it’s (ESPN College) Game Day. I told the team, `All the pressure is on the other team. If you play for 40 minutes, watch what happens.”’
