Kentucky welcomed big man Oscar Tshiebwe back into the lineup for the first time this season off the bench as he recovers from a knee injury, and — no surprise here — he was a huge reason UK was pacing the game early. In just 12 minutes of action, he scored 11 points and had a team-high seven rebounds. Michigan State’s hot outside shooting — they went 5-of-13 from 3-point range — has been the difference so far. UK went a torrid 2-of-10 from deep, while Joey Hauser made three 3-pointers of his own for Sparty and two others hit one from distance. We should have an entertaining finish from Indy, so stay tuned for live updates below.
